When the A11 is slowest

1 May 2026 to 15 June 2026

Mon 07:0057mph

14% slower than normal on this stretch · southbound · about 1,720 vehicles an hour

Measured about 2.2 km from Red Lodge Interchange, in East Cambridgeshire

Mon 08:0060mph

11% slower than normal on this stretch · southbound · about 1,635 vehicles an hour

Measured about 2.2 km from Red Lodge Interchange, in East Cambridgeshire

Wed 09:0061mph

9% slower than normal on this stretch · southbound · about 1,528 vehicles an hour

Measured about 2.2 km from Red Lodge Interchange, in East Cambridgeshire

Fri 16:0063mph

8% slower than normal on this stretch · northbound · about 2,147 vehicles an hour

Measured about 1.6 km from junction 36, Nine Mile Hill, in East Cambridgeshire

Fri 10:0061mph

7% slower than normal on this stretch · westbound · about 1,780 vehicles an hour

Measured about 50 m from Waterhall, in East Cambridgeshire

Wed 15:0064mph

7% slower than normal on this stretch · northbound · about 1,520 vehicles an hour

Measured about 1.6 km from junction 36, Nine Mile Hill, in East Cambridgeshire

Each hour is compared with that sensor’s own free-flow speed rather than the speed limit, because some sensors sit on bends and slip roads that never reach 70 mph. Quiet hours carrying under 600 vehicles are left out, so overnight roadworks are not mistaken for congestion.

Which direction is worse

Averaged along the whole road

SouthboundWorst at Mon 07:0057 mph

WestboundWorst at Fri 10:0061 mph

NorthboundWorst at Fri 16:0063 mph

Rush hour is rarely symmetrical. The commute in and the commute out peak at different times, and rarely as badly as each other. These speeds are averaged across every sensor facing that way, so they read higher than the worst-point figures above: most of the road is moving even when one junction is not.

Questions about the A11

Is the A11 closed right now?

1 closure was in force at our last check of the National Highways feed (1:38am today, UK time): A11 northbound Tuttles Lane Interchange to Thickthorn Roundabout static lane 2 closure. This covers planned roadworks and lane closures, not accidents.

Is the A11 closed tonight?

National Highways has 3 closures booked on the A11 in the next 24 hours, the first due from 8pm, so it may already be in place: A11 northbound Great Abingdon lane 2 closure (MP 75/4A to 76/1); A11 northbound Red lodge to Barton Mills lane 2 closure; and A11 northbound Wilbrahams exit slip road closure. Plans can change on the night.

When will the roadworks on the A11 finish?

One long-running scheme is listed: A11 northbound Tuttles Lane Interchange to Thickthorn Roundabout static lane 2 closure, due to end 1 Apr 2027. End dates are National Highways’ own schedule and can move.
