Drivers are facing further disruption on a busy road after more problems with its surface have arisen.

Suffolk Highways confirmed that the A143 has deteriorated again, causing frustration for drivers, local people, and businesses.

It comes after an initial surface dressing led to defects, which have been subject to inspections and repairs over the past year.

Suffolk Highways has announced it is developing a plan for further works.

The scheme includes road widening, resurfacing, new traffic signals, street lighting, footways, traffic islands, road markings, and drainage improvements.

A spokesman for the authority said: "We are aware of further problems with the road surface of the A143 at Stanton, for which we apologise.

"We recognise the frustration for motorists, residents and businesses.

"In the meantime, the site will continue to be monitored and warning signs remain in place. We would ask motorists to take care and drive according to the prevailing road condition."

The A143 is currently serving as a signed diversion route due to £20 million resurfacing works on the A14.

The project is due to finish on December 18.
