Drivers are being warned of delays on the M6, M42, A42 and M1 as a 514-tonne electricity transformer travels from Rugby to Goole. The load, carried on an 81m-long vehicle that is 6.5m wide, leaves Rugby at 9am on Saturday. National Highways says it will fill the A42 in Leicestershire so traffic cannot pass, and advises motorists to allow extra time or avoid the route.
