DRIVERS can expect delays with a village road set to shut for more than a month.

Station Road in Ardleigh will shut on October 3 for 33 days.

It will close from its junction with Harwich Road.

This is while mains replacement works are carried out by Cadent.

In a 14-mile diversion route selected by Essex Highways, it will take drivers roughly 27 minutes to bypass the closure but faster routes are likely to be available.
