A consultation has been launched to help improve "pinch points" along the A140. 

Drivers travelling along the key route have been asked to contribute ideas to help improve traffic flow and safety along the road. 

Suffolk County Council has identified three junctions on the A140 – the Thornham Magna junction, the A1120 Earl Stonham junction, and the A140/B1078 junction, which also connects to the A14 – as pinch-point areas that may benefit from improvements. 

These junctions will likely suffer from increasing traffic congestion and road safety problems in the future. They have also been identified as areas that lack sufficient infrastructure for passenger transport, such as busses.

A survey has been launched today and will run until October 15. The responses will support the council's bid for funding from the Department of Transport.

Councillor Richard Smith, Suffolk County Council cabinet member for economic development, Transport Strategy and Waste, said: "The A140 is a strategically important road, providing a key connection between Ipswich and Norwich.

"The views of residents, businesses and stakeholders will be used as much as possible to develop our bids for funding."
