A11 reopens between the A1075 at Thetford and B1111 at East Harling after collision involving vehicle that ‘crossed from one side of the carriageway to the other’

Part of a major route has reopened following a collision this afternoon.

The A11 had been closed northbound at 4.22pm between the A1075 at Thetford and the B1111 at East Harling.

A National Highways spokesperson said the route was closed due to a collision involving a vehicle ‘that has crossed from one side of the carriageway to the other’.

The A11 northbound was reopened shortly before 5pm.

Lane two of two on the southbound carriageway remained shut due to central reservation barrier damage, before reopening at 7.17pm.

The incident had caused traffic queues along the major route.

A Highways spokesperson thanked motorists for their patience.
