Important roadworks information: A11 Babraham to Six Mile Bottom

08/03/2023

I am writing to tell you that we plan to carry out essential maintenance on the A11 between Babraham and Six Mile Bottom. This will involve safety barrier replacement, resurfacing and renewal of signs. This will ensure the A11 continues to remain in a safe and serviceable condition.

We plan to complete this work between Monday 6 March and February 2024. We will work between 8pm to 6am on weeknights only, weather conditions permitting.
