Two lanes on the A14 westbound carriageway near Newmarket have reopened following an earlier lorry trailer fire.

One hose reel and breathing apparatus was used to extinguish the fire.

Lanes 1 and 2 were closed by the fire service following the fire, but have since reopened.

A tweet by National Highways said delays were clearing well.
