Repairs are set to take place on the A14 after work was delayed due to 'extreme heat'.

National Highways will start work tonight on the major route between junctions 57 and 58 on the eastbound carriageway.

The defect in the road has meant a lane closure has been in place since 11pm on Monday, May 25.

A spokesman for National Highways said: "The works will be fully completed overnight tonight."

The lane closure coincides with the first day of the Suffolk Show, which takes place at Trinity Park.

This combination is causing long delays, with National Highways reporting delays of 45 minutes and four miles of congestion.
