Disruption expected as huge lorry carrying transformer travels through West Country
Motorists in Somerset and Gloucestershire are being warned to brace themselves for possible delays tomorrow.
The National Grid is delivering new equipment to Iron Acton substation - which will help keep electricity flowing to homes and businesses.
The huge 200 tonne transformer will have to be painstakingly driven at just 15 miles per hour in a special haulage lorry.
The vehicle is a massive 57 metres long, and will take up two lanes of traffic.
