Several towns and villages across East Cambridgeshire are set to be hit with weeks-long roadworks and closures.

Cambridgeshire County Council has begun its road surface treatment work scheme, which will see roads across the county resurfaced. The work is part of an £43m investment to improve the conditions of road networks. 

Work will take place across Ely, Littleport, Haddenham and Sutton and could take up to 10 weeks in some areas. Here is the roadworks schedule for East Cambridgeshire.
