  1. The stupidity and total lack of common sense is Moronic!
    To close down the A12 on bank holiday weekend is the adoration
    of a very thick unintelligent individual ( Always an individual)
    In my opinion this person could not run a p-up -in-a-brewery
    What chance do us poor mortals have with idiots like these people in charge

  2. Please, please, please.
    Don’t let cars going A12 southbound after J27 to be in 3 lanes and then after a few yards back in 2.
    Put the cones as cars are approaching J27and NOT AFTER the junction where there are 3 lanes for another 2 junctions.
    During your “invisible roadworks” (as usual) keep the whole stretch of the A12 between J27 and J25 as 2 lanes. Believe me, hat makes all the difference.
    Unless, of course, there is a policy to make endless queues, wherever you can, so motorists have to spent much more fuel, in order to help the poor oil companies…..

    1. Absolutely no planning at all.
      Travelling from London to Frinton on the night of 22/9/23. Road closed at Marks Tey, diversion through Stanway and Colchester…….so they decide to dig up the road in the middle of the diversion as well….total lack of communication between local authorities and contractors.
      Turned into a 2.5 hr journey !!!!!.

  3. Absolute farce. Southbound last night 30/08. Diversion signs on the route from the start of the closures almost non existent and confusing bearing in mind the diversion is along narrow very bendy single carriageways. All made worse by the dimmed or turned off street lights on the return journey through Colchester.
    As an aside, what use is a smallish yellow warning sign before each overbridge that says ‘warning overhead structure’? If a driver cannot see a very large concrete bridge twenty yards in front of him/her they are not going to notice a small yellow sign are they?

    1. Instead of spending the now mandatory excessive millions on widening one road, why not use those millions to build another road to service this part of the East of England. That way there are no lane closures, no queues, no disruption to people’s work day. Tonight the A12 is closed from Colchester, the people stuck on it can’t even get off as surrounding roads are gridlocked. We’ll done decision makers, just another expensive mess the tax paying public have to put up with. Pity we don’t all have helicopters !!!
