Anyone up and about early on Sunday morning is being told to keep an eye out for a very large load on the road.

The transformer brought into Preston Docks is going to hit the road during Sunday (24 June).

The 178-tonne transformer will be loaded onto a specialist vehicle for the journey to Padiham, near Burnley.

Allelys Group are planning to take the transformer, built in South Korea, on the trip to Padiham and they can’t go more than 10-20mph.

It goes from the Marina onto the A583, and then does onto the A59.

Coming down the ringway it will then turn onto the A6 and head all the way up the M55 junction of the M6 at the Broughton roundabout.

Once there it will then head south on the motorway to the M65 junction at Junction 29.

From there it goes on the M65 to junction 7 where it will exit onto the A6815 before turning right onto Blackburn Road and into the Shuttleworth Mead Business Park where it will reach the Padiham substation.

A rolling police road block is going to be in force as the transformer makes its way through Preston and traffic may be stopped for safety reasons.
