Closed petition To build a new Northern bypass around Ipswich

Closed on

The Orwell Bridge has been closed in Ipswich all morning due to high winds, causing traffic chaos and gridlock in the town, it's about time a Northern bypass around Ipswich was built to defer the traffic from the town when the bridge is closed.

It's 2016 and it's ridiculous that such a large town is so reliant on the bridge being open, as soon as there's an accident or bad weather, it's closed and the traffic has nowhere to go but through the town, which the infrastructure just cannot cope, costing businesses millions of pounds in lost revenue, especially haulage companies as they're reliant on the a14 to and from the port of felixstowe, get this Northern bypass built.
