Last updated 11th Jan 2021
Highways England is reminding motorists the A14 will be closed overnight on weekdays between junctions 52 and 55 from Monday 11th January until the end of next month.
It's for works to replace the surface of the road, which was laid in 1985, and to install kerbs, new markings, cat's eyes and clearing drains.
In addition to overnight closures on weekdays, the stretch of road will be shut for the entire first weekend from 8pm on 15th January until 6am on 18th January.
The weekend closure is to allow the contraflow system to be put in place.
Highways is advising long-distance traffic to find alternative routes to avoid congestion around the roadworks and reduce local delays.
