Closure of A1065 outside Mildenhall to divert drivers 30 miles

Drivers are set to face a 30-mile diversion as a key road outside a Suffolk town will be shut for works.

The A1065 outside Mildenhall will be closed from 7pm on Tuesday, October 15, until 5am on Saturday, October 19.

Suffolk County Council is closing the road to patch the carriageway ready for surface dressing that will happen next summer.

The road closure will be in force for the whole period and the footpath will also be closed.

Drivers will be diverted 30 miles via the A1065, A134, A11 and vice versa.
