PARTS of Witham high street will be closed for resurfacing work over nearly two months of roadworks.
The overnight work on a section of the B1389 that runs through the middle of the town and will begin in September.
The resurfacing will start at The Avenue, run along Newland Street to Freebournes Road, and as far as Colchester Road up to Crittal Road.
Highways and Transportation member for Essex County Council, Cllr Rodney Bass, said: "These works are necessary to bring the road up to optimum standard for motorists. There will be some delays and advisory diversions will be in place.
"Drivers are advised to plan travel and delivery arrangements accordingly and to take an alternative route where possible."
The council also says the roads will be closed while the work is underway for safety reasons and will take place between 8pm and 6am to minimise disruption.
September 15 – The Avenue to Avenue Road
September 16-17 – Avenue Road to Crittall Road
September 18-19 – Crittall Road to Freebournes Road
October 31 – 2nd November – Freebournes Road junction
