A busy road in Norwich will close for two weeks over the summer while gas repair works are carried out.

The Avenues will close from Monday, July 31, until Friday, August 11, while Cadent carries out a mains replacement project.

It will be shut from Colman Road until Corie Road and diversions will be in place.

First Bus will divert its Blue Line services 26 and 26A will stop serving Colman Road and the Avenues.

Instead, the buses will divert via Earlham Road and Bluebell Lane.

A spokesman for Cadent said: "We will be working on a mains replacement project which actually involves three different mains due to the location on a junction.

"Rather than making three separate visits, we plan to complete all work in one go.

"We understand that any road closure and diversion will cause frustration and inconvenience to road users and residents, but we thank them in advance for their patience."
