The traffic has been made worse this morning by a broken down lorry on the A605.

Mike Perie, Highways England Events Planning Manager for the East of England, said: “This is a very popular event, and I’d advise all drivers using the roads nearby to be able to plan their journeys to avoid being stuck in traffic.”

The event opens at 6am on Wednesday and finishes at 6pm on Thursday.
