M25 abnormal load delays warning issued by police

The pods are being brought from Northumberland to Woking Community Hospital

Motorists are being warned to expect delays when an abnormal load from Northumberland completes the last stage of its journey to Surrey at the weekend.

Traffic on the M25 in Surrey could be disrupted on 12-13 October as pods for a community hospital development are delivered to the site in Woking.

The units are so wide they will need a police escort as they are brought from north east England in two separate convoys.

Surrey Police said: "The Woking one-way system will be temporarily held in order to manoeuvre the loads safely through the town to their final destination.

After travelling down the A1, M1 and M40, the loads will join the M25 at junction 16 (Denham) and will make their way slowly as far as junction 12 before heading south on the M3, exiting at junction 4.

They will proceed along the A331, A31 and A3, before coming off at the Dennis Roundabout junction and following the A25 to the A320, where they will travel to their final destination of Woking Community Hospital.
