DELAYS have cleared after a broken down lorry had blocked a lane on the A14.

Motorists had faced delays after the incident happened at 6.45am.

Traffic had been building up westbound at junction 51, Needham Market.

And congestion was reported back to junction 52, Claydon.

But a police spokeswoman said the road had now been cleared.

Overnight rain had left many roads difficult to drive on but the wet weather is expected to clear leaving a dry and bright day.

Greater Anglia reported a good service on the rail network this morning.
