Police will close a road in Bolton as they assist an 'abnormal load' to pass through.
Officers will accompany three Explore Scania trucks from Lostock Lane in Bolton.
This means that for a short period of time this afternoon, the lane will be closed.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "Our #GMPCVU officers will be escorting these three abnormal loads from Lostock Lane, Bolton this afternoon.
“A short closure of Lostock Lane will be implemented.”

An abnormal load is anything that exceeds regular dimensions while on the road and may require police to assist while moving through a location.
This is not the first time abnormal loads have been transported from Lostock Lane, as they were assisted by police on August 8.
Two 56-tonne structures for the Salterhebble Bridge scheme in West Yorkshire were also transported from Severfield, with police assistance, in April.
This was the largest structure to ever leave the site at the time.
