A stretch of a crucial road connecting Great Yarmouth and Gorleston is to be closed overnight for two evenings next week for repair work.

From Thursday, March 2, a section of Pasteur Road will be closed at the Gapton Hall roundabout heading into Yarmouth while carriageway repairs are carried out by Norfolk County Council contractors.

Work will be carried out between 7.30pm and 5.30am the following morning, with closures in effect between these times.

The works will be carried out on both Thursday, March 2 and Friday, March 3.

A diversion will be put in place incorporating - among other roads - Acle New Road, North Quay, Yarmouth Way and South Quay.

Norfolk County Council has apologised for any inconvenience the carriageway repair works may cause for motorists. Information about roadworks is available at www.norfolk.gov.uk/roadworks
