MOTORISTS are facing more delays as further closures of the A12 will take place this week.

Highways England announced it will be closing the southbound carriageway between junctions with the A120 Colchester and the A130 Chelmsford North for the next three nights.

It means the one lane will shut between 9pm and 5am everyday until Saturday (February 27)

Bosses say the closures are in place to repair roadside drains between B1389 near Witham north and B1389 near Witham south.
