A major road will be closed overnight this week for resurfacing works.

The A130 northbound is closed from 8pm to 6am every night until Sunday while Essex Highways carries out resurfacing and associated works.

The remedial work comes ahead of the announcement that the third lane on the southbound stretch will reopen on Sunday while the northbound carriageway is expected to open in July.

Diversions will be in place and motorists are advised to check their route before they travel.
