Drivers in Wiltshire may experience some additional delays over the next two weeks.

Between today (April 12) and Friday (April 23), there will be a series of abnormal loads leaving the M4 motorway at Junction 17 and taking the A350 towards Chippenham, before travelling onwards along the A4 and through Corsham to Westwells Road.

Police say that it is likely that traffic on both Bradford Road and Leafy Lane will also be affected.

The loads will mainly be made up of pre-fabricated steel structures at least 4.5m wide, as well as associated private and police escort vehicles.

Due to the size of the load and the convoy, the move is likely to be slow and will potentially cause congestion in places where oncoming traffic will be required to pull in and wait for vehicles to pass.

Traffic travelling behind the move will also not be able to overtake.

Wherever possible, disruption will be kept to a minimum although both hauliers and motorists are asked to please be patient should they come across one or more of the moves.

Corsham Police said: "Anyone travelling over these days 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."
