Sauder Custom Fabrication is delivering a large tank to a business in McPherson on Monday.
The tank is over 258 feet long, almost 21 feet high and 18 feet across. The tank also weighs around 756,000 pounds, or approaching 380 tons.
Adjustments have been made to ensure smooth passage out of Emporia, with a law enforcement escort and crews from Westar and CableONE moving overhead lines. A convoy has escorted the tank north on Weaver Street to US Highway 50. From there, the convoy went west to Prairie Street, north to 30th Avenue, west to Americus Road and south to Highway 50 before going west to McPherson.
