Huge boiler is transported on M5 in Somerset | |
(about 7 hours later) | |
A 145-tonne boiler has been transported along the M5 in Somerset at about 4mph (6.5kph). | |
The 100ft (30m) long load made its way from Sedgemoor services on its way to a paper mill at Watchet. | |
It left the motorway at junction 24 and headed along the A38, A39 and B3190 through Bridgwater and Williton. | |
The 30-mile (50km) journey was due to take about seven hours to complete, a spokesperson for Avon and Somerset police said. | |
Earlier, police said there were likely to be significant tailbacks as they escorted the 16ft (5m) wide load, and urged motorists to use an alternative route if possible. |
