A new £145m bridge is closing just a month after its grand opening.

The Gull Wing Bridge opened in Lowestoft on September 7, after decades in the making.

It has now been announced that parts of the crossing will close for three days this week from Wednesday to Friday to complete some "snagging" work.

Permanent covers will also be installed on the tail lock assemblies.

During this time overnight lane closures will be in force,

Two-way signals will be in place to manage traffic as the work is completed between 8pm and 5am over the three days.

A spokesman for the Gull Wing Bridge said: "We appreciate your patience as we complete these minor works."

The 345m long bridge is the largest rolling bascule bridge in the world lifted using hydraulic cylinders.
