The road will be closed from 6pm tomorrow, Thursday, August 1 until 6am on Friday, August 2.

​Coun Jacquie Speight, Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Sport, said: “The full overnight closure of this road minimises the disruption to the public. If this work was undertaken during normal working hours it would have meant partial day time closure for four days.
