While the works are taking place, drivers are advised to use alternative routes to avoid the area and minimize congestion. Those travelling to and from Cambridge, the nearest city, should consider using diversion routes or leaving extra time to complete their journeys. It is also recommended that drivers check traffic apps and websites for up-to-date information on road conditions before setting out.
