A major Suffolk road is expected to be closed for two days next month while abnormal loads are escorted through the county. 

According to the Suffolk County Council website, the A140 will be closed on Sunday, October 6 and Sunday, October 13. 

The website states that the road will be closed from the A14 turn-off to Eye Road and Castleton Way on both days.

Signs have been put in place on the roadside warning drivers of the closure next month. 

Last year, the A140 had to close for three weekends while a 327.5-tonne generator and two turbines weighing 332 tonnes and 221.8 tonnes were transported from Ipswich Waterfront to Eye Airfield. 

The full details of the closure next month have not yet been announced.
