OVERNIGHT closures of the A12 have been announced for the new year.
Highways England will be closing the northbound carriageway every night between January 4 and 15 to carry out survey work.
The road will be closed between Boreham and Marks Tey from 9pm until 5am each day.
The diversion route will take motorists up to Braintree on the A130 before heading west along the A120 to rejoin the A12 at Marks Tey.
Contractors are continuing investigation work ahead of the proposed widening of the A12.
Highways England plans to make the road three lanes in both directions between Colchester and Chelmsford.
It is expected to cost around £1.2billion and is scheduled for completion in 2027/ 2028.
Further closures are expected on the A12 when archaeology trial trenching takes place in March.
