Duke St, Hadleigh closed due to roadworks

Drivers in the Hadleigh area are advised to plan their journeys in advance due to upcoming roadworks on Duke Street, which are set to cause disruption from Wednesday, 8 August 2026 at 05:00 until Thursday, 9 August 2026 at 16:00. The roadworks, undertaken by Suffolk County Council, are expected to have a medium impact on traffic flow. Motorists are urged to consider using alternative routes to avoid the area, with traffic information available on apps such as Waze, Google Maps, and ViaMichelin.

The works on Duke Street are scheduled to commence at 05:00 on Wednesday morning and are expected to last for approximately 13 hours, concluding at 16:00 on Thursday. During this time, drivers can expect some delays and disruptions, and are advised to allow extra time for their journeys. Although the work is described as minor, the timing of the roadworks coincides with the evening rush hour, which may exacerbate traffic congestion.

Motorists travelling through the area are advised to check their usual traffic information sources for updates before embarking on their journey. Regularly checking for traffic updates can help drivers to plan their route and avoid the area during peak travel times. Using alternative routes, such as the nearby A1214 or A133, may help to reduce journey times and avoid the disruption caused by the roadworks.

While some minor traffic disruption is inevitable, Suffolk County Council is working to minimise the impact of the roadworks. Drivers are advised to exercise caution when approaching the area and to follow the instructions of any traffic marshals or signs in place. The council has assured that the works are necessary to maintain the safety and condition of Duke Street.

Motorists who rely on Duke Street for their daily commute are advised to plan their journeys in advance and consider alternative modes of transport, such as walking or cycling, where possible.
