A 'NUCLEAR CONVOY' forced drivers to divert this morning as it closed off a slip road onto the A34.
The four-strong convoy, believed to be warhead carriers, was spotted about 9am today travelling through the county having previously left AWE in Burghfield, Berkshire.
It is believed to have made its way from the Atomic Weapons Establishment at 8am and through heavy traffic travelled along the A4, M4 and onto the A34 up to the county.

But one follower who spotted the convoy, who is part of campaign group against nuclear warhead convoys Nukewatch, said the warhead carriers exited the A34 and stopped on the slip road heading back onto the dual carriageway at the Didcot Interchange.
It meant police were forced to close the slip road whilst the convoy and its various support vehicles parked up on the roadside.
The convoy moved on after 15 minutes and heading onwards on the A34 and M40 before leaving towards the A43 at Towcester.
