TRAFFIC is building after police closed a busy bypass following a nasty rush-hour crash.
The A133 bypass near Weeley was left partially blocked due to a crash near the Bentley Road overbridge, between B1033 and Progress Way.
As a result, there are now northbound queues of motorists back to Little Clacton and southbound congestion back to Colchester Road at the Weeley roundabout.
Essex Police officers have now decided to close the entire bypass between the Weeley roundabout and the Progress Way roundabout.
UPDATE - Weeley–A133 blocked by an accident near the Bentley Rd overbridge – police have closed the road between the Weeley roundabout and Progress Way roundabout at Little Clacton. Delays on B1441 Clacton Rd between Weeley and Little Clacton as drivers find alternative routes.
