A busy road that runs between Lowestoft and Oulton Broad is set to be closed due to maintenance work.

Part of the B1531 Victoria Road will be closed for two nights to allow the painting of white lines at the level crossing near the roundabout adjoining Bridge Road and Saltwater Way.

The closure will affect traffic from 10pm on Saturday, March 9, to 6am Sunday March 10. There will again be a closure from 10pm on March 10 until 6am on Monday, March 11.

Motorists will be forced to take a diversion route via Colville Road, Cotmer Road, Bridge Road and vice versa.

Access will, however, be open for pedestrians and cyclists.
