A road forced to close after melting during a summer heatwave is due to undergo further repairs.
The A143 in Stanton, Suffolk, was shut earlier this month after extreme temperatures caused the surface to melt, though it later reopened on July 16.
Targeted repairs are now scheduled for the southern section of the road under an overnight closure from 7pm on Friday, July 24 to 5am on Saturday, July 25.

A spokesman for Suffolk Highways said: "Tonight's work will involve us carrying out targeted repairs to the southern section of the road ahead of our upcoming surfacing works during the weekend of July 21 to August 2.
"We are hopeful that these repairs will enable the road to remain open during the high temperatures forecast for Suffolk next week."
Highways officials are urging drivers to follow the signed diversion route via the A143, A140 and A14, and to avoid travelling through surrounding villages.
