Danaher and Walsh (Civil Engineering) LTD (Eastern Region) on behalf of Pigeon Investment Ltd working with Suffolk County Council and Highways England are undertaking highway improvements to the two roundabouts at the A14 / J56 Wherstead interchange. This is to facilitate the construction of a new industrial / logistics development adjacent to the A137 and J56 interchange. Further details can be found here – http://junction56.co.uk/
Work started in March 2022 and in order to facilitate the final resurfacing works, full weekend closures of the A137 interchange and associated slip roads are required, the work will be completed in two phases.
The first phase will include a full closure of the south roundabout of the interchange, the A137 will be closed from the over pass (Bridge) to ‘The Street’ Wherstead, both associated westbound slip roads will also be closed between Saturday 6th August (6.00am) and Monday 8th August (6.00am). (see south closure and diversion routes below)
The second phase will include a full closure of the north roundabout of the interchange, the A137 will be closed from the over pass (Bridge) to the mini roundabout at the B1456 / A137 / Wherstead Rd and both associated south slip roads will be closed Saturday 13.08.22 (6.00am) to 15.08.22 (6.00am) (see north closure and diversion routes below)
Please be advised the signed diversion routes are ‘A road to A road’ and have been implemented specifically for heavy goods vehicles.
