One major Suffolk road will close in several places for pothole repairs tonight. 

The A143 Haverhill Road and A143 Bury Road is set to be closed by Suffolk Highways between 7pm on Thursday and 5am on Friday.

This is so that the numerous repair teams along the route can fill deep potholes along the road.

Parts of the A143 through Stradishall, Denston and Wickhambrook will not be passable for traffic during these times. 

Wednesday night saw the first road closures for the work, with further scheduled for this evening.

Drivers passing through the area are asked to plan an alternative route in advance to avoid getting caught in the works.
