Parts of two major roads in Great Yarmouth will be closed at night for essential maintenance and survey work.

The A47 at Breydon Bridge and the A149 Acle New Road will be closed for at least five days from 8pm until 6am.

As work continues on the £7.5m redevelopment of Breydon Bridge on the River Yare, the road will be out of action every night until the morning of Friday, October 6.

Since the bridge's planned closures began on September 15, vehicles travelling over the River Yare have been diverted over Haven Bridge and along Pasteur Road.

On Acle New Road, pavement surveys will be carried out on the Vauxhall roundabout approaches for future improvements every night throughout the week until Saturday morning.

Next month, Breydon Bridge's lifting system will be tested between 10am and 2.30pm between October 9 and October 12. Traffic lights will be in place while this happens.

Small boats will be able to pass under the bridge using the side spans.

Work on the bridge is expected to be completed this winter.
