Abnormal load due to travel to quarry

We will be escorting an abnormal load on a route this afternoon (13 June).

From around 2pm our officers will be escorting the load from Newark along the A17 to the Holdingham roundabout.

At that point they will head along the A15 to the Osbournby roundabout and then onto the A52 before the load reaches its destination at Old Somerby Quarry.

The load is due to be travelling at around 40mph. It is 30 metres long and 4.5 metres wide, and we would advise whose journey may be affected to plan an alternative route.

Three police cars will accompany the load on its journey. It is expected to arrive at the quarry around 3pm today.
