Drivers could face disruption as part of a busy road is set to be temporarily closed with traffic diverted for "urgent" repair work.

Suffolk Highways will be carrying out repairs to "carriageway potholes" in Kirkley, Lowestoft, with a closure in place on a section of London Road South.

The B1532 London Road South will be closed between "Rectory Road and Carlton Road/Cliff Road" for about two-and-a-half hours next Tuesday, March 8.

A diversion route of 0.9km will be in operation from 7.30pm to 10pm on March 8 and with the closures in place "delays are likely," according to the Suffolk Roadworks map.

Travellers using First Eastern Counties Buses are being warned of the temporary closure.

"Service X2 X21 will therefore be diverted via The Avenue and Carlton Road during this time."
