A key road near Portman Road football ground in Ipswich will close next week while work is carried out on the football stadium. 

Sir Alf Ramsey Way will shut on July 26 and July 27 to allow for jet washing of the Sir Bobby Robson Stand. 

The road will be closed between 7.30am and 4.30pm. 

A diversion route is in place via West End Road, London Road, Handford Road and Portman Road. 

It is the latest work being carried out in the vicinity of Portman Road stadium. 

The former Staples building in Russell Road was demolished in May as part of plans to make room for a new entrance to the South Stand.
