Redcote Lane, Leeds
The vehicle was carrying a generator to be installed at Kirkstall Sub Station, it was travelling from Goole Docks to Kirkstall due to enter Leeds from Junction 28 of the M62.
The journey had been organised by National Grid with approval from West Yorkshire Police and Leeds City Council. Due to its size (being almost 70metres long, more than five metres wide and weighing 335 tonnes) the vehicle moved slowly and was escorted by six police vehicles to ensure safety and to co-ordinate any special manoeuvres required along the route.
The route the vehicle will took in the city was: M62 Motorway West bound at J28 Tingley, turn right along the A653, continue to the A6110 Ring Road (Beeston/ Wortley/ Farnley), turn left and join A647 Stanningley By Pass, turn right to B6157 Bradford Road/ Town Street Stanningley, turn left Swinnow Lane, turn right Broad Lane, turn right Wyther Lane and then left through the access gates to site at Kirkstall.
