"Due to its size it will be slow moving and has the potential to cause additional delays where oncoming traffic may be required to pull in and wait for the convoy to pass.
"Wherever possible, disruption will be kept to a minimum although both hauliers and motorists are asked to please be patient should they come across the convoy. Anyone travelling over this period on time critical matters should allow sufficient additional time for their journey.
