Europa Way, Ipswich - new link road connecting Sproughton Road to Bramford Road

The works will consist of the construction of a two-way single lane link road as an extension of Europa Way between the end of existing Europa Way and Bramford Road, Ipswich and the construction of a mini roundabout to form a new junction with Bramford Road. 

The installation of a shared footway / cycleway facility with suitable joining and crossing points between the extents of the new link road. New raised table crossing points across the new access stubs leading to employment land for future development will also be installed. 

New sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) by way of infiltration drainage channel and basin to deal with surface water run-off from new sections of link road and footway / cycleway. 

Provision of access stubs to allow for potential future access into employment development land, installation of street lighting along the new link 

Utility diversionary works to move existing utility assets out of the way, that would otherwise be affected during the construction of the road.

New Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) for example; to restrict parking on the new link road and a review of parking on existing Europa Way and Bramford Road within the vicinity new road and junctions, to ensure safety such as visibility requirements and unhindered traffic movements. 

The work is being carried out in six separate phases, and the exact nature and position of traffic management will differ for each phase. For the majority of works, temporary two-way traffic lights will be used.

To facilitate these, temporary traffic restrictions will be placed along Bramford Road and will be indicated using ‘no parking cones’. We would be greatly appreciate your assistance by parking away from the marked area, in advance of works and whilst they are carried out, to enable us to complete them as planned. Parking restrictions will not affect the full extent of Bramford Road and will only be applied to the area closest to the works area.

A full road closure will be implemented for a short period along Bramford Road later in the works, we anticipate in early 2025. We will communicate this to local residents by way of a further letter, in advance of the closure date along with updating our social media channels and this webpage.
