The 17-foot-by-70-foot steel tank will be delivered to the Glatfelter paper mill in Spring Grove, York County. But first, it will come into the borough on East High Street at approximately 8:50 a.m. and by 9:45, if all goes well, will reach the square.
Plans call for the truck to turn left onto Market Street and continue to Mount Joy, where it will turn right on Angle Street, making its way to Route 772, Route 441 and U.S. Route 30 to York County.
To accomodate the load -- in particular to fit under the overhead wires -- there will temporarily be no parking on the south side of East High Street from Walnut to the square. Borough Police Chief Jack Mentzer said the wires are higher on that side East High Street where they attach to the utility pole.

Officials estimate that it will take 2 hours to get through Elizabethtown because all overhead wires will have to pushed out of the way. Below is a tentative schedule for the course through town. Mentzer said the schedule is subject to change based on how things progress with the transport.
- 8:50 to 9 -- Arrive in the Borough on East High Street.
- 9 to 9:45 -- Travel westbound to the square.
- 9:45 to 10 -- Arrive at the square and turn left onto Market Street.
- 10 to 10:45 -- Travel southbound on Market Street out of the borough.
