DRIVERS in Romsey faced heavy delays this morning as two tractors were forced to stop at a bridge.

The agricultural vehicles had been travelling along Winchester Road when they got to the bridge near the roundabout.

Both loads of hay were too high to pass under, but a queue of traffic had already formed.

Police had to attend to ensure the vehicles could safely reverse.

The drivers had been on their way to West Sussex from Bere Regis – a 90 mile trip.

A spokesperson for Romsey Police said: "Thank you to all of those held up by the tractors this morning for your patience."
