A £20,000 project to provide 'urgent repairs' to Carrow Bridge in Norwich are being carried out this weekend.

The works, which are the third set carried out on the bridge in little over a year, began on Friday evening and will continue throughout the weekend.

They will see "urgent repairs" carried out to the timber decking road surface, which were discovered by Norfolk County Council during routine inspections.

As a result, the bridge will be closed to traffic from 7pm the next two nights, but remain open during the day.

Should the repair works not be completed over this weekend, it will also see overnight closures next weekend - with a later closure of 10pm scheduled for Saturday, September 14 due to Norwich City's Premier League clash with champions Manchester City.
