Drivers will face disruption on a major route in and out of Norwich later this month.

Lane closures and temporary traffic lights will be in place on the A11 Newmarket Road while roadworks are carried out. 

The roadworks - near the junctions with Christchurch Road and Lime Tree Road  - will allow for drainage works, line painting and the addition of tactile paving.

Christchurch Road and Lime Tree Road will be closed at times throughout the project which is due to start on October 21.

The roadworks will be completed by Norfolk County Council and its contractor Tarmac and are set to be finished by October 25.

A £214,000 bus lane project is also due to start on October 21 at the A140 Ipswich Road's approach to the junction with Hall Road.

Three-way temporary lights will be installed at the junction for the duration of the work and overnight closures are planned between 7pm to 6am from October 21 to October 30.

The work will involve hydro-blasting and re-lining the carriageway, traffic signal upgrade and traffic management.
