As the monument can only be transported in an upright position it will need a special trailer. I have heard that the load can only move at 1 mph and the M11 and A11 will be closed in sections for at least six weeks.

 

A highways agency spokesman said that due to Government cutbacks they can only afford to demolish affected road bridges and some may never be rebuilt.

Apparently, this route was considered but the demolishment of several historic bridges on the Thames to enable passage in an upright position was too big a loss to our heritage.

 

However, attaching sails to the column was considered to save fuel if this route was used.
