Work starts this month

We'll soon be starting our resurfacing work on the A14 between junction 43 (Bury St Edmunds) and 47a (Woolpit). This work will also include replacing traffic signs, road markings and road studs (cat's eyes). Once complete, drivers will benefit from a safer, smoother and better-defined road surface.

Our work will be done in two phases, starting on Monday 15 April 2024.

To work safely, we'll need to close the motorway and slip roads at various locations. Please remember that closure details can change at short notice. For the most up-to-date information on dates, times and locations, check our daily closures page.

Diversion routes will be clearly signposted. Please don't follow your satnav during any closure and check your journey before you travel.

If you have any queries about this work, please contact us by email: info@nationalhighways.co.uk or call 0300 123 5000.

Diversion routes

Phase 1 – A14 eastbound between junctions 43 and 47, from Monday 15 April to June 2024.

We'll need to close the A14 eastbound between junctions 43 and 47, and divert traffic. Eastbound traffic will exit the A14 at junction 43 and travel along the A143 to Scole, then south on the A140 to rejoin the A14 at junction 51.

Phase 2 – planned for early 2025. Details will be confirmed nearer the time.
