DRIVERS in and around Colchester will have four National Highways road closures to bear in mind this week.

Three of the closures are expected to cause delays of between ten and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week.

There will be delays until 4pm on April 6 on the A12 in both directions from the Crown Interchange to Ipswich Road slip, due to local roadworks.

The A120 will be delayed until 6am on April 18, with slight delays in both directions, from Godmans Lane to Ashbury Drive, Marks Tey, due to works under traffic signals on behalf Gigaclear.

The A12 will also see delays from 8am on April 17 until 4pm on April 19. Delays will run in both directions from Coggeshall to Little Tey with a diversion route for roadworks.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads across Colchester will not be included in their schedule.
