DRIVERS using the A350 south of Warminster, the A36 Warminster bypass and the A361 into Frome from Beckington are being warned of possible delays this morning due to an abnormal load travelling on the route.

The 140 ton load, which is so wide that at points it will take up most of the road and which has a top speed of just 20mph, was due to leave Mere, south of Warminster, at 10.30am and make its way along the A303/A350/A36 and A361.

The load, which will have a police escort, will take at least two hours to make the journey, and drivers are advisedto expect delays on these roads for most of the morning.
