We are improving grassland biodiversity along the A11 corridor between Mildenhall and Thetford. To complete the final phase of this three-year project, we’ll be carrying out environmental work within the verge at six sites along this stretch of the A11. This will encourage a range of plant species to mature. 

Closures:

We plan to start this final phase on Thursday 7 November 2024 for approximately three weeks. We will work between 8pm and 6am on weeknights only, weather permitting. 

We are currently carrying out surveys and vegetation clearance at the six sites along the A11, prior to the main work starting. 

To carry out the work safely, we will require some lane closures at various locations northbound and southbound on the A11 between the Fiveways Roundabout and London Road Roundabout.

We will be using temporary traffic lights to manage the flow of traffic. This means no diversions are needed.

We’re upgrading the street lighting on the A12 between junctions 17 and 23 to energy-efficient LED lights as part of our efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

LED lights are better for the environment and use far less energy to produce the same amount of light. They also last longer and require less maintenance, meaning fewer road closures to fix lighting in the future and more importantly, safer roads for everyone.

We plan to carry out these lighting upgrades over approximately five weeks starting on Monday 21 October to Friday 22 November 2024. We will work overnight between 9pm and 5am on weeknights only, weather permitting. 

Closures and diversions

To carry out the LED lighting installations safely, we will need to close exit and entry slips between junction 17 and 23 of the A12, and divert traffic as follows:

As part of our effort to reduce carbon emissions from roadside lighting, we’ll be carrying out lighting upgrades from high pressure sodium lights (SON) to LED lighting from Birchanger Green Roundabout to Dunmow south Interchange on the A120.
