The diversion route for the closure will be via the B1191 / B1189 / A153 / Warfe Lane / Pauls Lane / B1192 Thorpe Road / B1191, and vice versa.

Councillor Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “As part of these works, we’ll be resurfacing a half-mile stretch of the B1191 Martin South Drove. This is to replace road surface that is nearing the end of its serviceable life.

“We’ll be doing everything we can to minimise disruption throughout the ten-week project, including maintaining access for residents and emergency services on the eastern side of the project, near Martin Dales.

“I want to thank everyone for bearing with us during these improvements.

“Not only will they help keep the area’s road network up and running, but they’ll also mean smoother and safer journeys for everyone travelling in and around the area.”
