Bridge repair work to close major Leicester road

Part of St Margaret's Way will be closed overnight to traffic

Part of a main road in Leicester is set to close to allow for "essential" maintenance work to a bridge.

St Margaret's Way will be shut overnight to traffic travelling towards the city centre on 31 May, and 3 and 4 June.

The closure, between Abbey Park Road and Riverside Park, will be in place each night from 21:00 to 05:00 BST.

The city council said vehicle damage to the parapets on St Margaret's Way river bridge would be repaired.

A short diversion will be in place via Abbey Park Road, Belgrave Gate and Burleys Way, the council added.
