Police warn of delays out of Rotherham to A1 at Doncaster
A spokesperson for SouthYorkshire Police said: “On Monday, July 25 at 10am and Tuesday 26th at 6pm we will be escorting some abnormal loads out of Kilnhurst, Rotherham to the A1 at Doncaster.
“Now these loads will either be very long or very wide so will take up most of the carriageway.

"Now this is where we will be stopping all traffic in all directions as they will then be reversed up Victoria Street before moving off towards Hooton Roberts.
“You will not be able to get past so please don’t try!
“No doubt this will cause a few traffic hold-ups but should only be for a few minutes while all the manoeuvres are made safely.
“Once we approach Hooton Roberts we will also stop all the traffic to allow the loads to swing wide before heading towards Conisbrough.
