Motorists are suffering “horrible” jams on the main road through Sawbridgeworth after a gas company began eight days of road works. The works by Cadent Gas on the A1184 Cambridge Road at the roundabout junction with West Road and Station Road began on Monday (March 18) and are due to continue until next Tuesday (Mar 26). Temporary multi-way traffic lights led to jams in the area on Monday, particularly during the afternoon. One driver said she had sat in traffic for half an hour with a near-empty fuel tank. Another frustrated motorist said she was “losing the will to live”.
