Hinckley bridge on A5

If you’re going North on A5 with a 15’3” how do you dodge it? Go through Hinckley?

You can cut through the industrial estate just to the north of the A5.

Harrowbrook up near Tesco

Get off the A5 and head for Stoney Stanton via Sharnford. Go straight over the 2 mini roundabouts in Stoney Stanton, you will then be heading for Elmesthorpe. Then left at the traffic lights, left at the next roundabout. Straight over the next roundabout, straight over at the next lights. Straight over at the next 3 roundabouts, you will then come to the roundabout on the A5 and will be North of the bridge. Go right on this to continue north.

Easy Peasy, lemon squeezy

Yeah it’s fine. Well it’s a B road but it’s fine. In Sharnford there’s like one bit where it’s a one way around a green area but it’s fine.

After Sharnford you come to a petrol station (Shell I think?) And that’s where you turn left towards Stoney Stanton.

Both those options (if I’m reading them correctly) would take you over a weak bridge with an 18T weight limit (Just after Gamecock Barracks at Bramcote).
