National Highways said the temporary restriction is required to allow utility works to be carried out nearby.

Drivers affected by the closure will be directed along signed diversion routes using alternative junctions of the A45.

Vehicles being used by the police, fire and rescue service or ambulance service will be exempt from the restriction, along with vehicles being used in connection with the works.

The temporary traffic order allowing the closure will formally come into force on Wednesday, October 7.
