Drivers are being told to expect long delays and potential major road closures as police escort an 'abnormal load'.

The A14, A11 and A47 will all be affected by the journey, which starts at 9am tomorrow (Wednesday August 21).

The large load is being escorted from Oyster Yachts, Hoveton to Fox’s Marina, Ipswich, potentially affecting drivers heading out of Cambridgeshire and over the border into Suffolk.

The journey has been scheduled to start at 9am as police escort the transportation through the county along popular commuting roads such as the A14 and A11.

A spokesperson for Suffolk Police has issued a warning about the potential travel disruption caused by the abnormal load.

They said: "Motorists are advised they may experience delays on Wednesday 21 August at 9am as police escort the transportation of an abnormal load through the county.

"The abnormal load will be escorted from Oyster Yachts, Tunstead Rd, Hoveton to Fox’s Marina, Wherstead, Ipswich."

The abnormal load route will be as follows:

Another abnormal load escorted earlier this summer

The local roads which the Abnormal Load will be transported on are listed below.

The route is as follows - A149 - B1152 - A1064 - A47 - A11 - A14 - A142 - A14 A137 - Wherstead Road - Local Roads to Site.

Most of the disruption is expected on the major roads such as the A47, A11, A14 and A142.

Drivers are being made aware that delays and possible closures can be expected along these routes.

Earlier this summer, back in July, another abnormal load caused chaos on Cambridgeshire roads, closing the Orwell bridge was closed for hours while police helped escort the load into our county.

Suffolk Highways and Norfolk & Suffolk roads and armed policing team were transporting a 184-tonne load from Cliff Quay in Ipswich to the Cambridgeshire border.

The teams, along with the abnormal load, left Ipswich at around 8.30am and arrived in Cambridgeshire just before 6pm.

Suffolk police have issued a warning to all drivers on the roads listed that tomorrow could cause a similar level of disruption and delay.
