Drivers through a village on the outskirts of Ipswich are set to face nearly two months of disruption.

The B1077 Ipswich Road in Witnesham will be closed for Anglian Water to carry out essential works including maintenance and utility repairs.

Rose Hill and The Street will also be access only.

It will begin on Monday, October 19 and end on Friday, December 11.

According to One Network, the road will be closed between the junctions with Hall Lane and the entrance to Fyn Valley Golf Club.

A diversion route will be in place for the duration of the closure.

It will follow Swilland Road, Otley Road, Grundisburgh Road, A12 and A1214 through Ipswich.

The diversion will add around 30 minutes to journeys.

The route is long as it has to follow main roads to allow for larger vehicles, like HGVs, which cannot use smaller roads other motorists could use.
