Ipswich posted on X to tell their fans that their journey to the stadium could take longer than expected.

A statement posted on the Suffolk Police X account read: “A 100m cordon is being put in place at Bourne Bridge, Ipswich, awaiting an army team to examine a possible unexploded shell.

“People should allow extra time for their journeys as road closures are likely to affect the A137/B1456 and A137/Hawes Street roundabouts.”

At present it is unclear if the issue could cause any delays to tonight’s Premier League clash.
