Two busy Ipswich roads will be closed next week for emergency roadworks. 

Crown Street and St Matthews Street in the town will be closed between 7pm on Wednesday and 5am on Thursday while Suffolk County Council carry out the emergency works. 

A five-mile diversion route will be in place and is expected to take about 15 minutes to complete.

There will be temporary lights in place between April 3 and April 10.

Nearby Freehold Road will also be closed between April 11 and April 21.
