"Thursday night, the convoy is scheduled to leave the Morristown Industrial Park and head toward the Tennessee Valley Authority methane-powered plant near Rogersville. The transporter will use Highway 11E, State Route 66 and State Route 70. Because the transporter is 22 feet wide, it covers both lanes of traffic. According to The Knoxville News Sentinel, traffic on two-lane roads will be halted. Traffic on four-lane routes will be stalled in one direction behind the convoy as it moves at speeds of 8 to 15 mph."

Unfortunately, the story doesn't say what time tonight. Also, if this impacts you, this is supposedly the third of 8 such trips so you might want to try to find out when the next 5 are scheduled.

I think the convoys only move during the very late PM and early AM. This is a clip of a similar convoy someone from Jonesville, Virginia recorded in June 2010 of generator components being transported to Dominion's new steam plant at St. Paul, Virginia.
