A key Ipswich road and roundabout will be closed for resurfacing next week.
The A1189 and A14 Nacton Road roundabout and all of its approaches in Ipswich are set to be resurfaced between September 4 and 9.
The work is due to be completed overnight, with road closures and diversions in place between 9pm and 5am.
Ravenswood residents will need to follow the diversion routes in place. The 7.5t weight limit along A1156 Fore Hamlet, A1156 Bishops Hill, and A1156 Felixstowe Road, Ipswich (from Bishops Hill to the roundabout with A1189 Bixley Road) will be suspended whilst the road closure is in place.
Suffolk Highways announced the news on its social media, in a post that reads: "The A1189 Nacton Road, Ipswich, will be closed from the roundabout with Ransomes Way to the roundabout with Ipswich Road, Nacton. This is necessary to ensure that we can carry out our work safely."
