Works have started on a new link road being created in west Ipswich.

A two-way single link road is being put in place as an extension to Europa Way between the end of the existing road and Bramford Road.

A mini-roundabout will also be constructed to form a new junction with Bramford Road.

Temporary traffic restrictions will be in place along Bramford Road, including no-parking zones closest to the works areas.

Bramford Road will also be fully closed at some stage during the project.

Suffolk County Council has said it anticipates the closure being in early 2025 and those living along Bramford Road will receive a letter closer to the time.

Parking will be restricted on the new link road as well as a review of parking taking place on the existing Europa Way and Bramford Road for safety.

The council aims to improve transport network reliability, reduce congestion and improve journey times with the implementation of the new road, which is intended to ease traffic in the Whitehouse area.

The plan is to finish works by the end of April 2025.
