St Walburga's Road
St Walburga's Road outside St Mary's Catholic Academy will also be closed from tonight while works to create a new crossing are completed.
Working hours will be overnight between 7pm and 2am. A road closure outside the Academy will be in place during working hours.
The road will be open as usual outside of working hours, however narrow lanes will be in place.
The closure is needed as the next stage in the works to create a new toucan crossing. Works will be carried out to apply new textured road surface and road markings on the approaches to the crossings. The works are expected to be completed Thursday, weather permitting. Diversion routes will be clearly signposted and motorists are asked to plan extra time for their journey.
