Predicted traffic delays as helicopter is transported across Wiltshire tomorrow
MOTORISTS may face traffic delays tomorrow, as a helicopter is transported through Wiltshire.
The load, consisting of the prime vehicle and both private and police escort cars, will leave Amesbury at around 10am and will travel westbound along the A303 to the border with Avon and Somerset.
Due to the size of the helicopter, nearly five metres wide and five-and-a-half meters tall, the convoy will be slow, potentially causing congestion.
In some instances drivers will have to pull over and wait for the load to pass.
Wiltshire Police has urged drivers to be patient when travelling through the county tomorrow, and allow a sufficient amount of time for their journey.
