Drivers in a Wiltshire town are being warned of several weeks of overnight disruption as a major road is set to close for improvement works from tonight.
The A363 Bythesea Road in Trowbridge will close between its junction with the A361 and County Hall from Monday, November 9, while Wiltshire Council carries out work connected with the Longfield Gyratory scheme.
The closure will be in place between 8pm and 6am each night and is expected to continue until Wednesday, December 2.
Motorists will be directed along a signed diversion using unaffected sections of the A363, the B3106 and the A361.
Wiltshire Council said access will be maintained for residents and businesses where possible, although delays are likely because of the nature of the works.

The authority said the scheduled duration could also be affected by weather conditions.
The temporary restriction has been introduced under Section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, which allows roads to be closed temporarily to allow works to take place.
Signs will be used to mark both the closure and diversion route during the works.
Anyone seeking further information about the closure can contact Wiltshire Council on 0300 456 0100.
