Major Roadworks on Traffic Routes
There is disruption at Orwell Bridge on the A14 due to bridge repair works. This is scheduled to be completed by 5am on Wednesday 23rd July with both the Eastbound and Westbound carriageways back to two lane running – however a 40mph speed limit will remain in force on both the Westbound and Eastbound carriageways. Please consult the Highways England live traffic information app for the most up to date travelling times through this section of works. There will be single lane closures on both the Eastbound and Westbound carriageways overnight on Wednesday 23rd, Thursday 24th and Friday 25th for further works – this means between 8pm and 6am there will only be one lane open in each direction so allow time if travelling overnight for congestion.

It is a legal requirement that the meter that shows the fare that you will be charged is turned on immediately when you commence your journey. A meter must always be used throughout your journey regardless of whether you accept a set fare* before the journey commences, this then shows that you have not be overcharged.
*A pre-agreed or set fare in a Hackney Carriage vehicle must never be more than the meter reading.
Private hire vehicles need to be pre-book by telephone to collect you. It is unlawful for a private hire vehicle to take you unless you have booked them in advance. Private hire vehicles also are identified from an external plate to the rear and an internal plate on the windscreen. The driver will also have a badge on his/her person.
Please ensure you ask the fare to be charged when you make the booking, if you are happy to accept that charge you have entered into a contract and it cannot be altered when you are collected. It is advisable to get quotes from different companies to ensure you are fairly charged.
