A message from the National Highways’ Operations East, Scheme Delivery Team

We are writing to tell you that we plan to carry out maintenance and improvement work on the A14 between junction 35 (Stow Cum Quy) and junction 36 (Nine Mile Hill). The work will include resurfacing the road, renewal of road marking, studs and marker post signs. When complete, drivers will benefit from a safer, quieter, smoother and improved road.

We plan to carry out this work from Monday 19 February 2024, for approximately 5 months. We’ll be working predominately weeknights with some Saturday nights, between 8pm and 5am/6am, weather permitting.
