Motorists are being warned of possible delays on the M6 on Sunday when an abnormal load will be travelling on the carriageway.

The 375-tonne operation will leave Heysham Docks at 09:00 BST on 13 April, Highways England North West said.

It will travel to Harker near Carlisle via the northbound carriageway of the M6, Scotland, and the M6 southbound.

Drivers are being urged to take care when overtaking due to the size of the load being moved.
