Highways England have reported:-
"Our repairs to the A14 road surface were going well, and we had done more road repairs than was originally planned. Unfortunately, the recent snow and bad weather has caused temporary delays to our work. As a result, we now expect the majority of our repair work to be finished by Wednesday 17 February. We will then begin to remove the contraflow and we must close the A14 to do this safely. Some of our remaining work will need to be done after the contraflow is removed. This includes new road markings, replacing cat’s eyes, and repairing areas of the A14 that could not be done whilst the contraflow was in place. To do all this safely, we will need to close the A14 eastbound overnight from 8pm and 6am on Wednesday 17 February, and westbound each night from 8pm and 6am from 18 February to 24 February inclusive, subject to weather conditions. During the above closures a diversion route will be in operation. Please use the A14 when it is open and only take the diversion route when the A14 is fully closed. Police will enforce traffic restrictions and speed limits on the diversion routes. All lanes on the A14 should be open during the day from 6am on 25 February onwards, although some lanes will be closed at night time, between 25 February and 3 March inclusive, whilst we remove the average speed camera equipment that is being used to enforce the temporary speed limits through the roadworks.
