A major city centre road will close for resurfacing work next week. 

The eastbound lanes of Queens Road, near Norwich Bus Station, will be closed for six nights between 7pm and 6am from April 11.  

The project is part of Norfolk County Council's ongoing Transport for Norwich Queens Road Scheme and plans include widening the road for a new left-turn lane into the bus station.
