Why it matters: The works, which are scheduled to finish tomorrow, have reduced traffic to one lane, causing traffic to build up from Civic Drive roundabout and along Handford Road and London Road outbound towards the A12.
The big picture: The lane closure is in place for minor street light repairs, causing:
Single-lane operation between Lidl and West End Road
Slow-moving traffic heading out of town
Bus stop suspension outside Lidl
Long queues, particularly during peak times
The impact: Delays have been reported throughout the day, with longer waiting times expected during busy periods.
Bottom line: While the repairs are minor, the lane closure on this key route out of Ipswich is causing significant delays for drivers heading towards the A12. Allow extra time when travelling, especially during peak times.
