Drivers can expect disruption in the city centre next weekend as a busy road is closed.

Chapelfield Road will be closed from 7am on June 30 for resurfacing work costing the council £17,400.

The closure, which is set to last until midday, will be in place from the St Stephens roundabout heading northwest to the second entrance to The Crescent.

The work will involve a road rejuvenator being sprayed on to the road that will soak into the top layer to preserve the asphalt for several more years.

Norfolk County Council claims this method of preservation is better for the environment and value for money.

A fully signed diversion route will be in place and a spokesman said: "The county council thanks people for their patience while this work is carried out."
