Warning: Major Delays Hit Newport Today Over Gigantic Load
Brace yourselves, Newport drivers! Expect delays today as a colossal abnormal load crawls through town.
Huge Haul from Fishbourne to Waste Centre
A specialist lorry is making its way from Fishbourne, arriving by Wightlink ferry, hauling vital equipment for the new Amey/Isle of Wight Council waste centre on Forest Road.
Slow-Moving Convoy Routes Through Key Roads
Because of its massive size, the load requires special handling and will lumber slowly from Fishbourne, passing through Wootton, then onto Fairlee Road, and cruising along Medina Way dual carriageway before reaching Forest Road on Newport’s outskirts.
Motorists are urged to plan ahead and anticipate delays along the route.
