Two-way traffic signals cause traffic chaos on Henley Road

Motorists face significant delays on Henley Road in Ipswich due to temporary traffic lights installed for Anglian Water works, with queues stretching past the Henley Gate development and Laurel Farm Garden Centre.

Queues stretch back some distance as traffic struggles to flow through the temporary traffic lights on Henley Road and permanent lights at the intersection with Valley Road

The details:

  • Traffic lights are operating opposite the entrance to Ipswich Sports Club

  • The temporary signals will remain in place until December 11

  • Queues are extending beyond the Henley Gate development and Laurel Farm

  • Dale Hall Lane is available as an alternative route

Between the lines: While the road typically experiences heavy traffic during morning periods, the addition of temporary signals has caused the usual flow to "ground to a halt."

The bottom line: Motorists are advised to avoid Henley Road if possible and seek alternative routes, particularly during peak morning hours, until works are completed on Wednesday.
