"It may cause a slight delay to your journey but we need to move it at this time as we have a limited time slot to get through the roadworks on the M180.
"Thank you for your understanding.”
The lorry’s movement comes as drivers also face delays with an ongoing major roadworks project on the A1 at Darrington which has been causing severe delays.
