4 hours of chaos in Elmswell again!!
There was more than four hours of gridlock in Elmswell again today as the A14 was closed both ways following yet another accident. Church Road, the main road through the village saw a huge number of HGV’s and other traffic going east and west.
A local resident said, “It was awful it seems that these incidents are happening more and more but the roadworks will not be finished for more than 12 months, it is so frustrating”.
The A14 fully reopened around 1.00 pm today after a crash involving a lorry and a van. Police were called to the collision on the eastbound carriageway, near to junction 47A at Haughley, at about 9.45am this morning.
National Highways said: “The A14 is closed eastbound between junction 47A and junction 49 and westbound between junction 49 and junction 47 due to a collision.
“Emergency services were in attendance.”
The westbound carriageway reopened at about 11am.
Just before 1pm, National Highways confirmed that the road had reopened in both directions.
Very useful information. Thank you.
That whole A 14 refurbishment is a SHAMBLES from the start. As Daily observer I am frustrated at the lack of activity One digger. Why . ? I have witnessed other repairs in this country and others where the time scale for completion would be half.
Very disappointed that we do not have the management to achieve this. Surly I am not a lone voice.
