What will we be doing?

We will be undertaking a major highway improvement project, alongside Cadent gas main replacement works, to improve safety, accessibility and connectivity along this route.

The works will include improvements to the junction of Cauldwell Hall Road, St John’s Road, Freehold Road and Marlborough Road, helping make the area safer and easier for people to walk, wheel and cycle.

You can find out more about these works at our public engagement event on Monday 8 June from 10:30am to 12:30pm at St Johns Church Hall, 74 Cauldwell Hall Road, Ipswich, IP4 4QE.

Cauldwell Hall Road (from numbers 188 to 212), Freehold Road (between Cauldwell Hall Road and Kemball Street), Marlborough Road (between Tolworth Road and Cauldwell Hall Road), St John’s Road (between Tolworth Road and Cauldwell Hall Road).

What traffic management will be in place?

To ensure the safety of road users and our workforce, road closures will be required for the duration of the works.

Although we recognise that road closures can be disruptive, this approach significantly reduces the overall programme. Completing the works under temporary traffic lights would extend the works considerably and prolong disruption.

Cauldwell Hall Road: via Woodbridge Road, Woodbridge Road East, Heath Road, Foxhall Road (and vice versa).
Freehold Road: via Kemball Street and Foxhall Road (and vice versa).

What do I need to do in advance?

To ensure these works commence and progress smoothly, please do not park your vehicle on the road shortly before they are scheduled to begin, as well as throughout their duration.

However, every effort will be made to undertake the noisiest of the works earlier on in the evening. We will also work closely with Ipswich Borough Council to monitor noise levels on site.
