A LEVEL crossing has become stuck in the down position at Ardleigh.
Motorists are being urged not to use the B1029 Station Road linking the village with Frating due to the incident.
Drivers should find an alternative route.
Rail services are not currently affected by the problem but there are minor delays on some services due to earlier signalling problems between Kelvedon and Witham.
