A lane closure on a busy city ring road is causing long delays.

The lane has been closed in Chapelfield Road, between the St Stephens roundabout and Chapelfield roundabout.

Delays are "likely" while the works are under way, affecting traffic in Grapes Hill and the Chantry Place car park slip road.

The works started this morning (June 8) and are expected to be completed by midnight on June 12. 

Further traffic restrictions will continue along St Stephens Street until June 12 and include no turning into Surrey Street and parking restrictions in All Saints Green.

The restrictions come as part of the ongoing multi-million pound Transforming Cities Fund scheme that has seen major roadworks across Norwich.
