Orwell Bridge works set to finish early
National Highways has been replacing expansion joints since June, and the work has caused severe delays and congestion for some drivers near Ipswich.
However, National Highways said the essential project had "progressed very well and ahead of schedule".
Martin Fellows, the company's director of the east region, added: "It is very much weather dependent, but we aim to remove the contraflow in the next few days and fully open the bridge to traffic by the end of next week."
Some road closures will still be in place ahead of the finishing date.
On Saturday, the A14, between junctions 58 and 56, including junction 56 entry slip road, will be closed overnight, from 20:00 BST to 06:00 in the westbound direction, towards Cambridge.
National Highways said there would be overnight closures in the eastbound direction between junctions 55 and 57, towards Felixstowe, from Sunday to Tuesday.
It added that it would begin the process of removing the contraflow system and to get the road fully open by the end of next week.

These US States Had The Most Car Crashes Last Year
Causation? Correlation? Coincidence? It's hard to tell, but the fact of the matter is that Boston drivers were once again declared the worst this year, and the city has extended its deal to let AI manage its terrible traffic. So it's probably no surprise to discover that, according to Visual Capitalist, using Insurify data, Massachusetts has the highest rate of car crashes in the country. Based on the number of accidents per total number of drivers, the Bay State is on top the leaderboard with a score of 6.1%. And whatever's affecting Massachusetts drivers seems to be spreading throughout New England, since New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Maine were ranked 2 through 4 with accident rates of 5.8%, 5.6%, and 5.4%, respectively. The state with the lowest accident rate was Michigan, at a mere 1.7%. Another oddity of the numbers: Fewer crashes don't seem to make an impact on states' insurance rates. Michigan has the highest insurance rates in the country, with Mitten State motorists paying some 80% more than the nationwide average. Read more: These Are The Cheap Cars That Consumer Reports Actually Recommends Buying These Cars Had The Highest Crash Rates Last Year The same Insurify data also shows what cars and trucks were involved most often in those crashes, and the results may not be what you expect: Four of the 10 vehicles with the highest accident rates — not the highest number of accidents total — were EVs. Leading the way was the Kia Soul EV, while the Chevrolet Bolt EUV finished third, the Volkswagen ID.4 came in fifth, and Chevy's Bolt EV came out in the eighth position. (The Bolt EUV is the inexpensive and spacious crossover version of the Bolt EV.) It's a guess, but perhaps people were still getting used to the instant torque and quick acceleration of electric vehicles? Anyway, filling out the list were the MazdaSpeed3 (No. 2), Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (No. 4), Jeep Wrangler YJ (No. 6), Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid (No. 7), Ram 2500 (No. 9), and Chrysler Voyager (No. 10). Oddly, Insurify reported on the same topic in 2023, with completely different results. That year, using the percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on their records, the list of "Car Models with the Most Accidents" had exactly zero of the models mentioned in 2024. The 2023 vehicles were, starting with the most accident prone, the Audi S4, Scion iA, Chevrolet Volt, Hyundai Veloster N, Toyota GR86, Subaru WRX, Subaru XV Crosstrek, Chevrolet Silverado LD, Kia Niro, and Subaru Impreza. These Cars Had The Most Fatal Accidents Of course, the word "accident" can cover a broad range of possibilities, and a minor fender-bender isn't anything like a serious crash. Ranking cars based on the number of fatalities per billion miles driven, the vehicle most likely to leave someone dead in an accident is — according to iSeeCars — the Hyundai Venue. Following the Venue are the Chevrolet Corvette, Mitsubishi Mirage, Porsche 911, and Honda CR-V Hybrid. Now, you've probably noticed one big name missing from that previous discussion: Tesla. Despite the occasional fiery Cybertruck crash, and a reputation for having some of the country's worst drivers, the brand was conspicuously absent from the Insurify data. And while ISeeCars noted that Tesla as a brand had the highest rate of fatal accidents — with Kia, Buick, Dodge, and Hyundai following — Tesla's Model Y and S were only #6 and #21 in the rankings on iSeeCars' list of vehicles. The Mitsubishi Mirage G4, Buick Encore GX, Kia Forte, and Buick Envision closed out the top 10. You can see how some of this happens, since the Corvette, 911, and Teslas are high-performance cars likely to be traveling fast, while the Mitsubishis, Forte, and Encore GX are on the smaller side. So they're all likely to lose out in a crash with a big truck or SUV. The good news? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that the number of annual auto fatalities fell by 3.8% in 2024, with the total dropping under 40,000 for the first time in four years.

What Are The Blue Lights On Some Florida Traffic Signals Used For?
Drivers in certain areas of Florida like Gainesville, Fort Myers, Orlando, and Collier County, have begun noticing odd little blue lights mounted on the top of some traffic signals. What are they there for? In spite of what you or your passengers may have speculated, they have nothing to do with red light cameras. However, like traffic cameras, they play a role in catching drivers who run red lights. These little blue lights are called confirmation lights, and they are designed to help law enforcement officers to see from any direction which lights are red. For example, if a driver is going south, but the cop is facing in another direction, the officer wouldn't be able to see whether the driver's light was red when they entered the intersection. This is because a blue confirmation light, which is only illuminated when the signal below it is red, can be seen from any direction. There are a few potential benefits to installing these lights. For one thing, only one officer is needed to monitor an intersection instead of two. Additionally, it's less dangerous for police officers, since they can monitor entire intersections from a safe vantage point. Most importantly, it's hoped that an initial increase in citations will be a deterrent for drivers running red lights going forward. Read more: These Are The Cars Our Readers Wish Would Depreciate Faster Are The Blue Lights Working? Florida isn't the only state where these lights have been installed. Cities in Colorado, South Dakota, and Kansas have also installed these blue indicators. In fact, the Minnesota Department of Transportation conducted a safety study in 2014 on the impact of confirmation lights in Florida. Shortly thereafter, the little blue lights started popping up in Minnesota towns like Blaine, Crystal, and Maplewood. That study found that crashes caused by running red lights dropped by 33% after these confirmation lights were installed. Another study done by the Federal Highway Administration in 2017 stated that its results indicated "statistically significant crash reductions for most crash types". So, all signs seem to indicate the confirmation lights are working. This is important because, while traffic fatalities from all types of car crashes dropped slightly last year, red light running is a significant cause of traffic fatalities in the U.S. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), 1,086 people were killed and 136,000 were injured in 2023 in accidents that involved running of red lights. Pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers and passengers in other vehicles made up half of the total fatalities. Don't Get Caught Running A Red Light In Florida What we really mean to say is don't run red lights, anywhere, regardless of your chance of getting caught. Running a red light can be fatal to you, your passengers, other drivers, and even pedestrians. That's not worth the couple of minutes you might save on your trip. If that's not enough incentive to obey traffic signals, consider the penalties if you do get caught. In Florida, being caught on camera running a red light will cost you a $158 fine. Failure to pay will result in a Uniform Traffic Citation being issued, and you may then have to pay up to $500, including administrative costs and court fees. However, if you are pulled over by an officer -- maybe one who saw the little blue confirmation light -- you're looking at upwards of $264, depending on the county, as well as points on your license. No matter how you look at it, there's no good reason to run a red light. So, drive safely and obey the traffic signals. Want more like this?

Driving test backlog ‘cannot get much worse'
Learner drivers are being forced to wait more than five months to book a slot at four out of five test centres, new figures show. Some 258 locations in Britain had the maximum possible waiting time of 24 weeks for a test as of May 5, which is 81% of all sites. That is up from 161 at the start of the year. AA Driving School, which obtained the figures from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), warned the situation 'cannot get much worse'. The average waiting time across all test centres has reached 22 weeks, up from 14 weeks in February 2024. The DVSA attributes the backlog to an increase in demand and some people booking their test much earlier than before. Officials hope an increase in the number of tests being conducted will bring waiting times down. The number of future bookings in the DVSA's system was 122,000 higher in June compared with the same month last year. Public spending watchdog the National Audit Office recently announced it will investigate the 'root causes' of delays to booking tests, and 'how the DVSA is responding'. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said in April the Labour Government 'inherited an enormous backlog' but was 'acting fast'. She told the Commons Transport Select Committee her department aimed to reduce the average waiting time to seven weeks by summer 2026. A Government consultation on amending the test booking system closed last week. This featured a plan aimed at stopping bots mass-booking new slots so they can be resold on the black market for inflated prices. The Department for Transport also instructed the DVSA to offer additional overtime payments to incentivise instructors to conduct more tests. Staff at the agency qualified to conduct tests are being asked to voluntarily return to the front line, while the number of permanent trainers for new examiners is being doubled. Emma Bush, managing director of AA Driving School, said: 'With the vast majority of driving test centres now showing waits at the maximum the system will allow, the situation cannot get much worse. 'New measures designed to start bringing down waiting times were implemented at the start of April by the DVSA. 'There are signs of recovery though, putting both the industry and learners on tenterhooks for more signs of improvement in the coming months. 'While we would expect these changes to take a few months to show a positive impact, it is still disappointing to see that learners are continuing to face an uphill battle when it comes to booking their driving test.' DVSA chief executive Loveday Ryder said: 'DVSA's goal is to make booking a driving test easier and fairer for learner drivers. 'We are making progress on our plans. 'We're really grateful to everyone who has responded to our recent consultation, including learners, parents and driving instructors. 'We're now analysing the survey responses. 'Using your feedback, we'll be able to plan our next steps on improving car test booking rules.'
