behind the A140 at Eye improved access project.
About the project
The A140 at Eye needs to be upgraded to allow traffic to use the road safely and efficiently and to also enable traffic to enter and exit the Airfield Industrial Estate which sits next to this busy main road.
Interserve Construction is making the improvements on behalf of Suffolk County Council.

The A140 scheme recently hosted an event bringing together the various partners involved.
