Tomorrow evening, our roads policing unit will be shutting part of the A38 in South Derbyshire while we ■■■■■■ an abnormal load to Burton.
The load - which is a number of huge brewery drums destined for Molson Coors - was originally due to travel last Thursday.
It was shelved due to an unforeseen delay in another county, but is back on for tomorrow evening.
The delivery will head along the A50 from Doveridge, then on the A516 towards the A38.
When it gets there, we will be closing the northbound carriageway because the convoy will be travelling SOUTH along it from Egginton to Clay Mills, due to its size.
We know this will cause a disruption for motorists, but we’re doing it so road users are safe while the convoy passes.
So if you’re planning to travel in that area between 6.30pm and 8pm on Tuesday, June 6 - or you know someone who is - then please bear with us.
We often work with haulage firms to help ■■■■■■ them safely through areas where they might need our help. We do this in the daylight hours because it means we have the best possible visibility, to make sure the abnormal loads can pass safely.
