A major A road which has been shut for more than a week due to a melting could be back in action by tomorrow.
Suffolk Highways has announced that work on the A143 near Stanton is nearly complete.
A spokesman for the agency said: "Crews have worked into the early hours to complete the repairs as quickly as possible and enable the road to safely reopen."
Workers were adding road markings on the stretch today, with the hope to reopen the road tomorrow morning.
While the road is still closed Suffolk Highways has said that they are trying to minimise disruption to the local community by increasing signage in surrounding villages.
Work had been delayed due to continued high temperatures, but cooler night-time weather has allowed for work to take place over the past few days.
The road was first closed on Tuesday, July 7, after severe defects on the route worsened, due to the heatwaves.
Further work is planned to take place in August to carry out more "extensive remedial works, which will address the wider defects that already exist on this section of road."
