A series of road repair schemes are planned in Ipswich next week, with daytime closures affecting residential streets across the town.

1. Wallers Grove - Wednesday, September 2

Wallers Grove is set to close from 8am until 5pm on Wednesday for road repairs.

A signed diversion will run via Wallers Grove, Coltsfoot Road, Speedwell Road and Campion Road in both directions.

The scheme is likely to affect drivers travelling in the Chantry area, so motorists may want to allow extra time or use an alternative route.

2. Withipoll Street - Wednesday, September 2

Withipoll Street will also be closed between 8am and 5pm on Wednesday, September 2, for road repairs.

Traffic will be diverted via Tuddenham Road and Christchurch Street, and vice versa.

The closure is close to the town centre and could be particularly noticeable for drivers heading between the northern side of Ipswich and routes towards the waterfront or central shopping area.

3. Kemball Street - Wednesday, September 2

Kemball Street in the east of the town will also be undergoing road repairs between 8am and 5pm on Wednesday, September 2.

There is a diversion route, which will use Foxhall Road, Caudwell Hall Road and Freehold Road.

4. West End Road, London Road and Yarmouth Road, Tuesday, September 1

Starting on Tuesday, September 1 and finishing on September 17, there will be overnight works on West End Road, London Road and Yarmouth Road.

This is for resurfacing work to take place between 8pm and 5am.

There are multiple diversion routes for the closures, which can be viewed on One Network.

5. A14 slip road closures Tuesday, September 1

From 10pm on Tuesday, September 1 until 6am on Wednesday, September 2, the A14 off slip will be closed in both directions between junctions 43 and 62.

This is for drainage works on behalf of National Highways.

The A14 eastbound will then be closed overnight from Wednesday, September 2 to Friday, September 4 between 8pm and 6am.

This is so electrical works can take place along the major road.
