A post on the Lowestoft Town Council website and Facebook page said: "Following last night's high winds, Lowestoft Town Council can confirm The Ravine has been closed due to damage.

"Our contractors are currently on site making the area secure but we can confirm this will be ongoing over the weekend and early next week."

With The Ravine having been "damaged due to strong winds", a diversion route is in place as "delays are likely," according to the Suffolk Roadworks map.
