A2 restrictions

Done a wide load onto the Greenwich peninsula,today.
Can anyone explain why abnormal loads can’t use the a2?
It’s a 3 lane dual carriageway ffs.
Route order brings me in,on the a20…through Lewisham town centre,and then picking the a2 up at blackheath.
I just can’t see the logic :confused:

Any bridges on the A2, unsuitable for the weight.

Don’t think so.
Just come down it(unit only)and didn’t see owt.

We always use the A2 for abnormal loads. Maybe your planner who is submitting the route to the Met police isnt very handy with a map?

After last…

Weeks square peg in a round hole delivery in Saxmundham and now this, you should be looking for a new job. :smiley:

The A2 means going across Blackheath - and they are a bit snooty about it. Although strangely at night and weekends it’s New Cross you mustn’t go through on any account.

My drop was next to the dome,which,if using the a2…would be d/c all the way.
As it was,I had to go across blackheath,anyway.

I reckon somebody must have forked up.

Only a matter of time

I had a similar one with a movement order before.

Came down M1, onto M25 then A1, to rejoin the M1

The New Cross ban is for your own safety. :slight_smile:
