Drivers are set to face delays tomorrow as an abnormal load the size of a blue whale is moved to the county.

The 80-foot vehicle will be escorted on its 70-mile diversion from Boston in Lincolnshire to Oulton in north Norfolk.

The unit, made up of 107 tonnes of cable drums, matches the weight of some blue whales or a Boeing 757-200 plane.

The 10-foot-wide unit will be escorted by Norfolk Constabulary from the A14 at the Cambridgeshire border on the A11, A134, A1122, A134, A10, the Queen Elizabeth Way, A148 and the B1149 before taking local roads to the site.

The load will hit roads at 9.00am on tomorrow (August 21) with drivers being warned to expect delays.

The load could also cause hassle for holiday goers in north Norfolk as it travels on the A148, a popular route to get to the coast.
