A Giant Load on the A140, Yaxley, Suffolk - 22nd October 2023
There's much excitement as news of a giant oversized load making its way from Ipswich Docks to the new gas power station on Eye Airfield appears on local Facetwit pages. As it's nearly time to go on holiday, we're not doing much so decide to drive over to the A140 near Yaxley and hang around on the roundabout. As usual, the predicted time of appearance is somewhat optimistic, and we're there over an hour before it appears, but it's interesting enough seeing something with about 100 wheels trundle around with something very large on it.

Some dude hangs off a road-closure sign
Gaz appears on his bike, and joins us for a bit
Isobel and Gaz look down the A140
The village waits as nothing is still happening
Harry perches on a crash barrier
Gaz is on his phone
The moon in a paper sky
The rozzers reinforce the closure
There's a ripple of excitement as stuff happens
There's a good view from the roundabout
The police have reinforcements
The oversized load finally appears
The main long load takes the wrong side of the road
Negotiating the roundabout at Yaxley
A 96-wheel bogey
The long load moves off the roundabout
The power station generator heads off to the airfield
