Drivers urged to steer clear of A12 roadworks after multiple recent crashes

Warning over A12 roadworks in Suffolk

Drivers are being advised to avoid the A12 junction in Suffolk where roadworks are currently causing safety concerns. The warning follows three separate collisions that occurred at the same location within just one week.

Authorities are urging motorists to take alternate routes and remain extra cautious if travel through the area cannot be avoided. The roadworks are part of an ongoing improvement project aimed at modernizing the infrastructure, but temporary traffic layouts and reduced visibility have likely contributed to the recent incidents.

Local officials are reviewing safety measures to prevent further accidents and ensure smoother movement along one of the county’s busiest roads.

"We are asking drivers to approach with caution and plan ahead," said a Suffolk highways representative.
