BREAKING – Storm Ciara causes chaos as aircraft hanger roof is set to blow onto the M11

REPORTS have arrived at the Euro Weekly News desk that the M11 is currently shut in both directions due to mounting fears that the roof of an aircraft hangar is about to blow off onto the motorway.

Witnesses have reported seeing the aircraft hangar at Duxford Airfield coming away resulting in the emergency services clearing the area due to the grave danger posed.

The M11 has now been shut between junction 9 and 10 northbound and junction 11 and 9 southbound with Highways England stating that it is “likely” to blow on to the road. In addition, the A505 highway is also closed from the Whittlesford and Fowlmere approach to the M11.
