**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.
