Motorists warned of several abnormal loads on major Surrey roads
Motorists are warned that several abnormal loads will be travelling on major routes in Surrey this weekend.
The force will escort several abnormal loads, containing pods for a community hospital development, through Surrey on Saturday, October 12 and Sunday, October 13.
The units require a police escort due to their extended widths.
The loads will travel in two convoys across the weekend.
They will begin their journey from Northumberland on Saturday, October 12, travelling via the A1, M1, and M25.
They will travel as far as Junction 12 before heading south on the M3, exiting at J4.
They will proceed along the A331, A31 and A3, before coming off at the Ripley Junction before turning and travelling south on the A3 to the Stoke Junction with the A320.
There they will travel to their final destination of Woking Community Hospital.
The Woking one-way system will be temporarily held in order to manoeuvre the loads safely through the town to their final destination.
The second convoy will then repeat this journey on Sunday, October 13.
Surrey Police can’t give exact timings at this stage, but expect it will come off the M3 at Junction 4 no earlier than 9am.
Surrey Police anticipate some temporary localised disruption as a result, and although it will be kept to a minimum, motorists are advised to be plan their journey with this in mind.
