Work to be carried out to remove trees along the A14
Trees bordering a stretch of the A14 will be cut down and removed towards the end of this month.
The work is set to be carried out by National Highways between the junction with the A140 Norwich road and the Stowmarket/Stowupland interchange.
The trees, which are suffering from Ash Die Back, will be cut down and removed and as part of the work there will be a replanting project carried out with a mixture of new species.
The work is part of a wider project on the A14 between junctions 49 and 58. and will be carried out over seven nights from Thursday, January 23, between 8pm and 6am on week nights only.
