Middlesbrough Council will carry out works to the Ormesby roundabout

Drivers have been warned to expect disruption as a roundabout will close for five nights for resurfacing work.

The junction, which links Middlesbrough to Ormesby, will close from 19:00 to 00:00 BST from 18 to 22 June.

Middlesbrough Council said the "important junction" would be shut at off-peak times to "minimise disruption".

The upgrade work is part of the council's £7m scheme to make improvements to its roads.

Also known as the Ormesby Village roundabout, Cargo Fleet Lane, Normanby Road and Ormesby High Street meet at the junction.

A council spokesperson said: "We are grateful to motorists for their understanding and patience.

"This is the latest phase of our carriageway resurfacing programme, and will fully restore this important junction."
