A road was forced to re-open because of traffic chaos - just hours after being closed

Contractors shut off a stretch of Main Road, in Dovercourt, yesterday so vital work could be carried out on the building of Harwich's new hospital.

But tempers started to flare when drivers got caught in queues and cars started turning around on private driveways to get out of the jams.

Police were called and re-opened the road until more signs could be provided letting people know about the closure.
