A road in Mid Suffolk has closed for five months as part of a significant project where contractors will replace a bridge.
Works to replace the bridge along A1088 Bridge Farm Bridge in Stowlangtoft, near Bury St Edmunds, began on Monday (July 22) and will continue until Friday, December 20.
During the works, a road closure will be in place between the junction with The Street in Stowlangtoft and Sandy Lane in Grimstone End to ensure the safety of road users and operatives from Suffolk Highways.
