A road in Norwich is to close for almost two weeks for gas works. 

The work will begin in College Road, near Unthank Road, on Monday.

The project, which will see essential gas mains renewal work in the road along with resurfacing of the carriageway and path, is expected to take 12 days to complete.

College Road will be closed to all traffic at the junction with Earlham Road until November 8.

A temporary diversion will be in place along the bottom half of College Road connecting to Avenue Road and leading drivers to Recreation Road.

The work is being completed by Cadent Gas and the footway will remain open along College Road and Earlham Road.

Contractors may be working during the evenings to minimise the duration.
