A 20-mile stretch of the A12 will close from next week to allow essential overnight roadworks to take place.
National Highways has warned drivers to expect delays while work is carried out between junction 33 at Copdock and junction 29 at the Colchester Crown Interchange.
Engineers will be resurfacing the carriageway, refreshing road markings and replacing worn road studs as part of the scheme.
The closures will be in place from Monday, January 12, until Saturday, January 31, and will operate overnight between 8pm and 5am to minimise disruption.
While the A12 is closed, a signed diversion route will be in place:
- Continue east on the A120
- At the A120/B1035 roundabout, take the B1035 (Clacton Road) heading north
- Turn left onto the B1352 (Long Road) and continue to Lawford
- Take the second exit onto the A137 and follow it to A14 junction 56 (Wherstead Interchange)
- Join the A14 and continue to junction 55 (Copdock Interchange) before resuming your journey
