Even worse than normal this weekend. Junction 29 on A14 will be closed in both directions ALL weekend from 9pm Friday through to 6am Monday due to the installation of two new bridges. Avoid this area! Link: Closed this weekend | |

link below - A14 closed at Barhill this weekend. Diversion is onto A428. You can carry on down the A1 and get onto the 428 at st neots alternative is the A17 or A47 (at Peterborough) both through the flat lands of the Fens, but there not great roads. Link: link to pdf | |

surely most drivers going to Norwich would have turned off before these roadworks. my Mrs is going down to Braintree so this will effect her | |

If you are taking the dreaded A17 ignore the first turning and take the Cottingham turning a few miles further down, turn left at the junction through the village and turn right at the roundabout back onto the A17. You will cut off all the Trucks who cannot go through the village and the queue onto the A17 from the A1. | |

I live in Cambridgeshire and the A14 makes my commute to work an utter misery on an almost daily basis ! | |

Alternative way Norfolkred is to come off A! at A17 but get in middle lane rather than right hand lane to the roundabout. As you say trucks are so slow and roundabout is two lane so very easy to get past all the trucks here. Mrs Norfolkngood goes mad with me every time I do that but it saves a hell of a lot of time. Further cautionary note: Major roadworks on A17 about 35 miles short of Kings Lynn. Road totally closed in both directions from 8pm to 6am and long detour. Be prepared if going down tonight or leaving Norwich after game in the evening. | |

Alternative route rather than the diversion on a14. Take A14 to Huntingdon then A141 to Chatteris then A142 Newmarket rejoin A14 | |

If anyone follows borodaveinexile‘s route above could they consider picking me up in warboys ? Save me the bother of driving to Ely and getting the train ![]() | |
