...As Abnormal Load Travels Through Wiltshire Tomorrow
Motorists travelling around the Chippenham, Melksham, Seend and Worton areas of Wiltshire tomorrow (10/12) may experience some delays due to a large agricultural unit being moved.
The abnormal load is due to leave junction 17 of the M4 motorway at about 11.30am and travel via the A350 around Chippenham towards Melksham where it will leave the A350 at the Semington Roundabout.
It will then travel onwards to Seend, before turning right prior to the village at The Bell Inn towards Worton where it will pass through (at approx. 1.00pm) to the far side of Worton and its final destination - Devizes Wood Products.
The agricultural unit, which is 4.6m wide, will be assisted by both private and police escort vehicles.
Due to its size, the it will be both slow moving and have the potential to cause congestion in places where oncoming traffic will be required to pull in and wait for it to pass. Traffic travelling behind will only be permitted to overtake in certain locations and only when safe to do so.
Wherever possible, disruption will be kept to a minimum although both hauliers and motorists are asked to please be patient should they come across this load. Anyone travelling over this period on time critical matters should allow sufficient additional time for their journey.
Police escorting resources are being provided by officers, paid for by the haulier at no cost to the public.
