Drivers Asked Follow Police Directions As Wide Load Travels Across Island

Wednesday, 5 January 2011 00:00

Motorists are being asked to pay extra attention this morning as an abnormal load escort is being transported, which will be escorted by police vehicles.

The 2 articulated lorries are high and wide so will be travelling slowly from the Sea Terminal. They started their journey at 09:30, travelling along Lord Street, Peel Road to Quarterbridge, then following the TT course to Ballaugh.

It will then follow the Jurby Coast road, ending its journey at Jurby industrial estate, sometimes taking up both sides of the road.

Drivers are asked to follow instructions of the police vehicles.
