Police will close a road in Bolton as they assist an 'abnormal load' to pass through.

Officers will accompany two Explore Scania trucks from Severfield in Bolton.

This means that for a short period of time from 12.30pm, Lostock Lane will be closed.

A spokesman for police said: "Our #GMPCVU officers will be assisting with an abnormal load movement from Severfield, Bolton.

"A short closure of Lostock Lane will be implemented for a short time from approximately 1230pm."

This is not the first time abnormal loads have been transported from Severfield, as they were assisted by police in April for two 56-tonne structures, and said these were for the Salterhebble Bridge scheme in West Yorkshire.

This was the largest structure to ever leave the site at the time.

GMP Traffic shared the video on social media on the night of January 10 after an escort saw the abnormal loads from Lostock Lane, past the University of Bolton Stadium on De Havilland Way, and onto the motorway.

In partnership with John Sisk and Son Ltd, it is building the bridge and an accompanying link road on behalf of client Calderdale Council.

An abnormal load is anything that exceeds regular dimensions while on the road and may require police to assist while moving through a location.
