A major A-road susceptible to melting will be shut for almost a week.
An urgent closure was put in place on the A143 at Stanton yesterday (July 7).
Suffolk Highways announced the closure early on Tuesday, July 7, with plans on One.network originally showing that work was planned until Friday, July 31. However, Suffolk Highways have since clarified that the closure will be in place until Monday, July 13.
On the site, it states the closure is due to the "carriageway deteriorating".
The closure is in place from roundabout with the A1088 and Walsham Road at Ixworth and shortly before the Shell petrol station in Stanton.
For the road closure there is a 62-mile diversion in place, which uses the A143, A140 and A14.
When they first announced the closure, a spokesman for Suffolk Highways said: "Any further updates and additional information will be issued in due course."
Before the closure, the agency had announced it was planning to begin repair works in August.
Suffolk Highways have been contacted for more information on the closure.
