And that leaves me wondering how they are going to get it out of Coeburn. Will it be too big to go under the overpass? And I'm sure that there will be plenty of gawkers and rubberneckers just trying to get a peek at the massive piece of equipment.

Looking for my Darcy, but finding only Wickham. Right now, I'd settle for Bingley.
All the overpasses, overhead lines, street lights, etc. were mapped out in advanced (one reason why it can't go up US23 - can't fit through RR overpasses in Duffield).
There will be some creative routing involved.
You'll shoot your eye out.

I'd say going through Jonesville and Big Stone will be some of the most challenging places. As I mentioned before wiith it being so long, they'll have to raise it up so many feet to allow it to pass over the hill by the courthouse in Jonesville. I'd say it'll be a tight squeeze through some areas there too, along with Pennington and Big Stone. Also to take a different approach to getting back on the 4-lane at Powell Valley. Another interesting thing will be the bridges. Most of them have been reinforced with some additional support, TDOT inspected all theirs and will do the same after it passes.
TDOT had the plans for the first 3 days of transport up on their website, maybe they'll add some additional days. Haven't seen anything from VDOT.

Alternate Route 58 just east of Coeburn to St. Paul
- Alternate Route 58 from St. Paul to Virginia City
Yep they did some real creative routing, going past the plant to SP then back to Va City. This is probly the same bunch that was in charge of getting this crane to the site. By taking it from Coeburn down 72 through Dungannon across Mew road to Castlewood then back to the site. Instead of just going straight on down 58 another 8 miles to the site.
