Motorists are being warned of delays ahead of the potential overnight road closure of a landmark bridge next week.
The £146m Gull Wing bridge in Lowestoft is scheduled to be closed for maintenance works from midnight on Monday, July 13, throughout the day and overnight until 4pm on Tuesday, July 14.
The 345-metre bridge - which opened in September 2024 - was built on behalf of Suffolk County Council by civil engineering contractor Farrans Construction.
The county council said that the nature of some of the works on the third crossing involve using materials that rely on being used in dry weather.
So, a decision will be taken nearer the time on whether the closure can go ahead.
A county council spokesman said: "The current spell of warm weather looks set to continue into next week so the likelihood is the work will go ahead as scheduled, and we want motorists and other road users to be aware so that they can plan their journeys.
"Should weather conditions mean that the work cannot go ahead, then we will advise people as soon as the decision is made."
