Lane closures announced ahead of bridge repairs

There will be lane closures on the Orwell Bridge for survey work

Temporary lane closures over a bridge have been announced ahead of six weeks of repair work.

One lane will be shut in each direction on the Orwell Bridge, which carries the A14 near Ipswich, from 20:00 BST until 06:00 on Friday.

National Highways confirmed a survey needed to be done on the crossing ahead of work to repair the joints from 16 June.

It was expected to take until August and cost £6m, it said.
