CHELMSFORD drivers are being made aware of a weekend closure next month, to accommodate Highways England works on the A138.
The road will close to traffic between Chelmer Village Way roundabout and the Army and Navy roundabout at 8pm on Saturday July 9 until 5am on Monday July 11. Diversions will be in place.
Some works remain to be completed by the contractor working for Highways England to put the finishing touches to the new road.
These cannot all be safely carried out with just a lane closure, so Sunday has been chosen as the best day to carry out works as the road is least busy then, according to Highways.
