Aerial shots have captured the moment a lorry transported a huge abnormal load through Wisbech.
The extraordinary 363-tonne convoy made its way through the Fenland town with a police escort on Sunday, May 18.
It travelled at a speed of 10mph due to the size of the load, a transformer measuring 64m in length and 4.1m in height.
Specialist haulage firm Allelys transported the load along West Bank, Bridge Road, the A17, Wisbech Road and Main Road.
A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Constabulary said the load was unable to move during the hours of darkness as "most of the roads in Lincolnshire are not fully lit."
They added: "For the overall safety of our road users, the abnormal load crew and our officers, we move abnormal loads when it is safe to so.
"The route taken has been approved by National Highways and local councils. A more direct route is not always feasible for abnormal loads of this size and length."
The force worked with its colleagues from Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies.
