Drivers have been warned that a lane on the Orwell Bridge will close for an inspection after a bridge joint was found in a "potentially unsafe condition".
A westbound lane of the A14 at the Orwell Bridge south of Ipswich will close from 9pm on Friday until further notice, says National Highways.
A spokesman for the organisation added that the closure is necessary for the safety of road users using the bridge.
The work will be carried out overnight to avoid delays and there will be no diversion route as a lane will remain open.
A spokesman for National Highways added: "We appreciate the impact this will have on the local community but taking this course of action is necessary to ensure all road users remain safe whilst travelling on our road networks."
