Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

Background

The A14 is a vital route connecting Felixstowe port to the North, Midlands and East of England, carrying local, regional and international traffic.

While we know closures are disruptive, this essential maintenance will extend the life of the road and reduce the need for more significant works in the future.
