A stretch of the A14 will be closed over nights for urgent works next month. 

The eastbound carriageway between junction 38 at Newmarket and junction 40 will be closed for three nights in December. 

National Highways has said the carriageway will be closed from December 9 to December 12 between 8pm and 6am. 

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

  • Exit at junction 38 onto the A11
  • Continue up towards Thetford
  • At Thetford Roundabout take the third exit onto London Road and then turn left onto Elveden Road
  • Turn right onto the A134 and continue down to rejoin the A14 at junction 43

Earlier this year National Highways closed a section of the A14 near Newmarket for five months over nights will work was being carried out. 

The eastbound carriageway closed between junction 35 at Stow Cum Quy and junction 36 at the A11 turn-off near Newmarket.

The work included resurfacing, refreshing the painted road markings, road studs and other signs.
