Two busy Norwich roads are set to face closures and restrictions for the second time in less than a year. 

Drayton High Road will undergo maintenance work starting from October 9 that will see it affected by two five-night closures.

Sweet Briar Road will have a 20mph speed restriction and will be reduced to a single lane on both carriageways.

The restrictions will be in force from October 9 to October 13 and October 16 to October 20, from 8pm to 6am. 

The work - which will cost £177,000 - comes after a series of recent repairs made by Anglian Water to the area which saw two long-standing closures last year. 

A burst water main forced a 99-day closure of Sweet Briar Road last February which was followed by another burst main in November. 

Temporary traffic lights were put in place which caused a build-up of traffic on the A140 outer ring road as services scrambled to fix the leak.
