OVER RUNNING roadworks are causing major delays for traffic going to and from Harwich this morning.

Work has been underway on the A120 between Horsley Cross and Ramsey.

The work has been taking place overnight with the road due to open by 5am each day.

However, this morning the works overran leaving queues of traffic going back to Harwich port.

It is affecting traffic heading towards Harwich as well as those going towards Great Bromley.

Traffic is diverted via Wrabness while the delays continue.

UPDATED 

The A120 is now open to traffic in both directions - more than three hours after originally planned.
