A12/A14 Corridor Hit by Series of Incidents Causing Lengthy Delays

Successive incidents are straining a key freight link used by port traffic.

Overview

  • Traffic on the A12 is slow near Junction 17 at Howe Green after a reported northbound crash, with details still unconfirmed.
  • A separate obstruction closed a northbound lane of the A12 between Junctions 27 and 28 near Colchester, causing long queues back to Junction 25.
  • At the Copdock Interchange by Ipswich, a van broke down on the A14 westbound off-slip to the A12 and police attended the scene.
  • Highway crews were called to Copdock after reports of fluid on the carriageway, which sensors showed was adding to severe congestion.
  • A tractor with a trailer overturned on the A1156 Felixstowe Road near the Seven Hills roundabout, blocking the route toward Nacton with no injuries reported.
