Felixstowe and the parishes of Trimley St Martin and Trimley St Mary are in East Suffolk, and the A14 is the road that serves them. National Highways describes it as the route connecting the Midlands to the East of England and serving Felixstowe Port. Near the coast it names junction 58 as Seven Hills, junction 59 as Trimley, junction 60 as Trimley St Mary, which gives access to the A154 (Candlet Road), and junction 61 as Felixstowe.
Heading inland, the A14 crosses the River Orwell on the Orwell Bridge, south of Ipswich, and meets the A12 at the Copdock Interchange, junction 55. National Highways uses a wind procedure on the bridge: a 40mph limit when winds above 50mph are forecast, and a closure when winds of 60mph or more are predicted. Check the bridge before you plan an early start that crosses it.
Hutchison Ports lists the Port of Felixstowe among its United Kingdom ports, alongside Harwich International and London Thamesport.
