A busy Derbyshire bridge will be closed to traffic overnight while work takes place next week.

National Highways said it will have to close the A5132 Carriers Road/The Castle Way bridge over the A38 at Eggington.

The closures are necessary to allow surveyors to assess what works may be required in the future to ensure the safety of the level crossing.

Road closures will begin at 20:00 GMT on Monday and continue nightly from 20:00 to 06:00 until Friday.

National Highways said motorists can follow a signed diversion via the A38 while the works take place, but drivers should allow extra time for their journeys.
