Work to be carried out on A14 slip roads at Woolpit/Elmswell

Work is set to start next week on improving the entry and exit slip roads of the eastbound route of the A14 at the Woolpit/Elmswell junction.

A series of road surface improvements, upgrading road markings and studs, installing a vehicle restraint system, clearing vegetation and replacing road signs is due to take place.

Highways England is carrying out the work which is due to start on Tuesday, May 28, and is scheduled to last for eight days.

Diversions will be put in place while the work is carried out and the slip road will be closed between 6pm and 8am on weekdays only.

Darrel Holt, from Highways England, said: “These road improvements are necessary to maintain the strategic road network along the A14. This will add benefits such as a better road surface, safety improvements and an improved journey.”
