A main road in Ipswich is to be closed overnight for more than one month.
Foxhall Road, between the junctions of Back Hamlet and Ruskin Road, will be shut to vehicles for a highway improvement project aimed at cyclists and pedestrians.
The work will be carried out between 7pm and 6am from August 31 until October 9, Suffolk County Council has said.
Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use the road.
Traffic will be diverted via Grove Lane, St Helens Street, St Margarets Street, Woodbridge Road, Woodbridge Road East, Heath Road, and back to Foxhall Road.
The anti-clockwise route will be via Foxhall Road, Heath Road, Woodbridge Road East, Woodbridge Road, Argyle Street, St Helens Street, Grove Lane, and back to Foxhall Road.
Other co-ordinated works may also take place during this period.
On Foxhall Road, a 20mph speed limit will be introduced from Grove Lane, alongside speed humps and traffic calming measures, and improvements outside local shops will be delivered using Active Travel funding and Ipswich Borough Council Towns Fund investment.
The work is part of a program aimed at improving the route between Ipswich Hospital and the Waterfront as part of a scheme funded by Active Travel England.
The project includes safer pedestrian crossings, upgraded road junctions, and other enhancements to boost safety and accessibility.
