The A145 is an A road in the English county of Suffolk. It runs from the town of Beccles, close to the border with Norfolk, to the village of Blythburgh where it joins the A12 road. It is around 11 miles (18 km) in length and single carriageway throughout.
The A145 runs through the town of Beccles before passing through a rural area on its route to the A12 at Blythburgh.
Beginning as George Westwood Way, the A145 has its northernmost point at the roundabout with the A146 road on the northern edge of Beccles just within The Broads. It runs southwards for around 800 metres (0.50 mi; 0.80 km) through industrial and retail areas before turning west to become Station Road at a mini roundabout adjacent to Beccles railway station. The road then passes around the edge of Beccles town centre, splitting into two branches at a crossroads. It becomes part of the Beccles one way system: the northward branch runs along London Road and Hungate before turning at Beccles Public Hall to become Market Street; the southward branch becomes Newgate and then Blyburgate before turning to become Peddars Lane.
The roads are reunited at the crossroads of Peddars Lane and London Road to the south of Beccles town centre. Traffic lights control the flow of traffic here, with the B1062 St Mary's Road running west towards Bungay. South of this point the road is known throughout its route as London Road and runs in a generally north-south direction. Before the building of the Beccles northern bypass in the 1980s, the A145 began at the junction of London Road and Blyburgate, with the roads through the town centre being designated as the A146.
