MOTORISTS are being advised to plan their journeys carefully due to a series of roadworks.

Cockaynes Lane in Alresford will be closed on Friday while Essex County Council carries out patching works between 8am and 5pm.

The same works are being carried out on Thursday in Church Road, Alresford, from its junction with Wivenhoe Road to Ford House in Ford Road.

On March 29, Station Road, Alresford, will be temporarily closed.

Network Rail has warned delays are likely while it replaces the train track at Alresford level crossing from 3am until midnight.

There could also be delays in School Lane, Frating, heading towards Thorrington at the junction with Great Bentley Road, while a road sign is being replaced.

UK Power Networks is also carrying out electricity works at Bromley Road, in Frating. Both are expected to finish by Thursday.

The Horsley Cross interchange of the A120 to the Crown Interchange should clear of roadworks by Thursday morning.
