DRIVERS are facing delays in today’s rush hour with traffic building across several of the region’s main roads.

Motorists on the northbound A12 at Copdock, between Belstead and the Copdock Interchange, are facing slow-moving traffic although there are no incidents reported in the area.

There are also tailbacks on the southbound A12 near Hatfield Peverel just before the Boreham Interchange because of an earlier broken down lorry. The break-down had closed one lane but traffic is expected to start flowing more smoothly now the blockage has been cleared.

Rail commuters are facing a quiet morning on the trains with no delays reported.
