A14 between junction 52 and junction 55 – maintenance.

Dear Customer

I am writing to update you about a change to the schedule of planned road works on the A14 between junction 52 (Claydon) and junction 55 (Copdock interchange).

We now plan to start this work on Monday 9 September 2024 for approximately 2 months. Work will be carried out weeknights only, between 8pm and 6am, weather permitting.

The public information event about the upcoming works will take place between 4pmand 7pm today. This will provide an opportunity for residents to ask members of the project team any questions. The full address for the event is Tithe Barn, Lower Street, Sproughton, IP8 3AA

Closures and diversions

To carry out the work safely, we will need to close the A14 between junction 52 (Claydon) and junction 55 (Copdock interchange) in both directions but not simultaneously. We will divert traffic as detailed below:

While the A14 is closed eastbound, traffic will exit at junction 52 (Claydon), travel along the B1113 through Bramford and Sproughton, then along the A1071 and A1214 to rejoin the A14 at Copdock roundabout. Westbound traffic will follow the above diversion but in reverse.

We understand that this work may cause some inconvenience and we sincerely apologise for any disruption these changes may cause. Our team is committed to completing the road works as quickly and efficiently as possible to minimise any further inconvenience.
