The closure will be in place on the eastbound and westbound carriageways between junctions 49 and 50.
Bury Road, near Bury St Edmunds
This road connects a number of west Suffolk villages with Bury St Edmunds, but it is expected to be shut until next month.
People looking to get to and from villages like Barrow and Great Saxham will be diverted onto the A14.
Market Lane, Blundeston
Market Lane in Blundeston, north of Lowestoft, will be closed until Friday.
This is so a new footway and dropped crossing can be constructed.

The B1066, which connects with the A1092 near Long Melford and Sudbury, will remain closed throughout this week for repairs.
The closure is set to end at the start of next month.

Another overnight closure, this road will be shut between 7pm and 5am from Monday to Saturday this week.
It will mean drivers looking to get to mid Suffolk villages from the A12 will be advised to find alternative routes.
