Drivers are being warned of delays while a busy stretch of the A12 is closed near Ipswich.

National Highways has said it will be carrying out works in the southbound carriageway of the major route between junction 33 for the Copdock Interchange and junction 31 at Langham.

The road will be closed overnight between 9pm and 5am from Sunday, October 12 until Thursday, October 16.

A spokesman for National Highways said the work includes resurfacing, refreshing road markings, drainage, and LED lighting upgrades. 

While the road is closed, a diversion route will be in place, which is as follows:

  • Stay on the A14 to junction 56
  • take the A137 southbound towards Ardleigh and continue into Colchester
  • follow signs for St Andrews Avenue, then Cowdray Avenue
  • go through The Albert Roundabout and onto Colne Bank Avenue
  • at Colne Bank Roundabout, take the A133 (Cymberline Way)
  • at Spring Lane Roundabout, use the fast link slip road to rejoin the A12 southbound at junction 27
