A TRAILER with a flat tyre is causing long hold-ups to rush-hour traffic passing over the Orwell Bridge this evening.

Motorists heading in the direction of Felixstowe over the bridge are having to wait for a recovery service from Leiston to pick up the trailer, which was being towed by a tractor.

Traffic reports at 5.30pm suggest traffic is heavy around the area and motorists are being advised to avoid the area if possible.
