M11, A14, A1 and A47 road closures around Cambs ahead of Easter

Road closures are planned on a number of key roads across Cambridgeshire and surrounding areas in the coming week many of which will be taking place overnight. These closures could cause traffic delays in the county as people travel for Easter. However, National Highways has reported no road closures in place over the bank holiday weekend.

Work is set to take place on major routes such as M11, A14, A1 and A47[1] until Wednesday (April 5). These works include barrier repairs, road renewal and electrical works.
