Bury Christmas Fayre traffic could be impacted by last minute A14 closure to Newmarket

The A14 will be closed tonight (Saturday, November 23) from 8pm between Bury St Edmunds central and Newmarket, according to a council update.

West Suffolk Council posted a tweet at around 4pm to notify that Highways England would be carrying out works ‘without consultation’.

The tweet added: “They’re unable to delay until later, despite our requests.”

The move has potential to impact attendees returning from the Bury St Edmunds Christmas Fayre.

The council said a diversion will be in place for the park and ride scheme.

Highways England has been contacted for a response

The road reopened before this morning (Sunday, November 24).
