Multiple Major Road Incidents Cause Widespread Delays in Southern England

Multiple traffic incidents across England have caused severe delays on major roads. On the A1 in Cambridgeshire, both northbound and southbound carriageways were closed near Eaton Socon following a crash, leading to significant congestion. Similarly, an overturned lorry on the A12 near Colchester resulted in a southbound closure between Junctions 27 and 28, causing traffic backups extending to Suffolk and heavy congestion in Colchester city center; police managed traffic with a stop and go system, and all lanes reopened by mid-afternoon with no reported injuries. Another overturned vehicle caused the closure of the A27 eastbound in Chichester, leading to slow traffic between the Havant Road and Cathedral Way junctions. These incidents highlight ongoing challenges in managing traffic flow and incident recovery on busy roadways, with local communities experiencing significant disruption. Authorities continue to monitor and respond to these events to restore normal traffic conditions.
