Motorists in Ipswich face weeks more disruption as a series of long-running roadworks continue across the town.

Gas main projects and highway improvements are among the schemes affecting roads, with some works currently listed as continuing well into December.

Suffolk County Council directs motorists to the Causeway service for current and planned works, which includes schemes carried out by Suffolk Highways as well as utility companies including Cadent, Anglian Water, BT and UK Power Networks.

Here are five Ipswich roads facing ongoing disruption.
