Important: Shard HGV Routes published for Fri 16th > Sat 17th April 2010. Avoid area!

I plotted the routes on a map

to make it easier to avoid them.

Thanks for that. I've facebooked it. It's not like many of my facebook friends are cyclists but worth getting the message spread far and wide.

Kept the message simple if anyone else wants to blog it in some fashion. Yes, I shamelessly copied the text from the LCC site.

**Caution London Cyclists - Pouring of the Olympic Shard

Starting during evening rush hour on Friday 16 April 2010, and lasting for 36 hours, almost 700 return lorry trips will continuously pour 12,500 tons of concrete into the foundations of Europe's largest building site.

This amounts to an extra lorry on London's streets every 2-3 minutes on this route.
