Orwell Bridge lane closures planned for later this month

Drivers are being warned of potential delays as National Highways announces lane closures on the Orwell Bridge for maintenance work from August 12-16.

What's happening: National Highways will be carrying out essential drainage works and gully cleaning on the A14 Orwell Bridge, requiring nightly lane closures from 9pm to 5am.

Key details:

  • Eastbound lane closures on August 12, 13, 15 and 16

  • Lane closures in both directions on August 14

  • Works will focus on drainage maintenance and gully cleaning

  • Work will take place in the evenings to minimise disruption.

Why it matters: The closures may cause delays for drivers using this key route in and out of Ipswich during late evening and early morning hours.

What they're saying: A National Highways spokesman confirmed the closure schedule and advised drivers to expect delays and consider alternative routes.

The bottom line: Motorists should plan ahead and allow extra time for journeys, especially if traveling on the affected dates between 9pm and 5am.
