SEVERE delays on the A12 southbound this morning due to “overrunning roadworks”.
Traffic is building from Junction 26 A114 Eight Ash Green, Tollgate interchange to Junction 29, Crown Interchange.
The A12 southbound has been shut for works last night from Junction 25, A120, Marks Tey, to Junction 26, Stanway.
The closure was scheduled from 8pm and was due to reopen at 6am this morning—but the roadworks have overrun, causing severe delays.
