Proud supporters of free and independent local journalism in Ipswich
Sections of Henley Road in Ipswich have been closed today despite notices initially indicating only temporary two-way traffic signals would be in place, leading to confusion for motorists.
The details: The partial closure allows City Fibre to carry out 'unclassified work' on the road.
Henley Road is closed in one direction at the Valley Road traffic lights for traffic heading towards Henley
A full closure is in place between Ipswich Sports Centre and Dale Hall Lane
Ipswich Sports Centre remains open and can be reached from the Valley Road end of Henley Road
Yes, but: Despite large 'Road Closed' signs blocking the entrance to Henley Road at the Valley Road traffic lights, hundreds of drivers have been observed attempting to access the closed sections before making U-turns and heading back onto Valley Road.
The bottom line: Restrictions are expected to be in place until Friday, 10 January. Those travelling in the area should plan alternative routes.
