Clare: Station Rd closed

Motorists in the Clare area are being advised to plan their journeys carefully due to a series of planned roadworks on Station Road, which is set to get underway on 10 August 2026 at midnight and will continue until 12 August 2026 at midnight. The highway authority behind the project is Suffolk County Council, which has confirmed that the works are necessary to address minor issues on the stretch of road. While the severity of the disruption is classified as medium, drivers can expect some inconvenience during the work period.

Station Road, which is located near Colchester, will be closed to allow the highway authority to carry out the necessary repairs. This means that drivers who normally use this route may need to seek alternative routes to reach their destinations. To help drivers navigate the area, it's recommended that they check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on road conditions and traffic updates. Additionally, drivers may want to consider using traffic-avoidance routes or taking public transport, where possible.

The roadworks are expected to cause some disruption to local traffic and commuters who use Station Road on a daily basis. While the highway authority has attempted to schedule the work during a period of relatively low traffic volume, drivers should still be prepared for some delays and disruptions. It's essential to check for up-to-date information on road conditions and traffic before embarking on a journey.

Motorists are advised to exercise caution when approaching the roadworks and to follow all instructions from traffic marshals or signs. The highway authority has confirmed that the road will be reopened as soon as the work is complete, and drivers can expect a return to normal conditions on Station Road by the evening of 12 August 2026.
