A Bury St Edmunds road will be closed for a week next month while repairs are carried out by the county council.

The entire length of Barons Road, near West Suffolk Hospital, will be closed from Monday, July 8 to Friday, July 12 from 9.30am to 3.30pm.

The road will be closed to through traffic while works are in progress but access to properties and businesses will be available and will be controlled by staff on site.

On street parking in Barons Road will also be restricted to allow the repairs to be carried out.

During the closure, traffic will be directed via Hardwick Lane.
