Resurfacing works are taking place on the Eastern Road for five weeks.

The Eastern Road, in Portsmouth, will be closed at night for five weeks from Tuesday while the work is carried out.

A spokeswoman for Colas said: ‘Road users should expect delays during this time and should use alternative routes, including the M275, to get in and out of the city.’

A full closure will be in place each night between 8pm and 6am between the Farlington roundabout and Airport Service Road.

The spokeswoman added: ‘Colas apologise in advance for any disruption this may cause and is grateful for everyone’s patience and co-operation.’
