Drivers in Ipswich should prepare for a road closure as essential highway improvements are set to begin soon.

Henslow Road will be closed from Friday, June 26, 2026, until Tuesday, July 8, 2026, from 7am to 5pm.

The restrictions are expected to remain in place during these times for the safety of highway users and operatives.

The closure will affect Henslow Road from the junction of Freehold Road to the junction of Westminster Close.

Additionally, temporary traffic lights will be in operation on Freehold Road to manage traffic flow.

Motorists are advised to use the diversion route, which includes Henslow Road, Foxhall Road, Britannia Road, and Freehold Road.

This route will help ensure that traffic can continue to move smoothly around the area.

Residents are reminded not to park their vehicles on Henslow Road shortly before and during the works.

'No Parking' cones will be placed in advance to indicate where the work will take place, ensuring the project can commence and progress without delays.
