Temporary traffic lights have been out in place in Woodbridge while teams repair a burst water pipe which has caused a “foul smell” in the area.
Anglian Water have set up temporary two-way traffic lights in Woods Lane, which are likely to be in place until October 30.
The works come after residents complained online about a foul smell coming from a hole which has opened up in the centre of the road, leaving loose chunks of road surface on the carriageway.
However, the works coincide with a second set ongoing further along Woods Lane, near the junction with Valley Farm Road, which are being carried out by BT.
This has caused congestion in the area but the BT works should be completed by tonight.
A spokesman for Anglian Water said: "Our teams are currently working to repair a burst water main on Woods Lane in Woodbridge that has caused some damage to the road surface.
"No customer supplies are affected and our teams are now planning the necessary repair to the pipe on what is a busy road in the area. Two-way lights will be in operation for the safety of road users and our staff.
"We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and we'd like to thank local residents for their patience while we complete this vital work."
