Police could not identify what type of machinery it was.
A spokesman said: “We were called around 3.40pm yesterday (July 18) to reports of highway disruption in D’Urton Lane, Broughton.
“A machine had fallen off a blue Scania lorry and was blocking traffic in both lanes.
“Roadwork contractors helped to remove the obstruction.”
