The closure will be enforced in three phases to limit the impact.
Phase one will include the closure of Longhayes Avenue both ways, between Padnall Road and Sheepcotes Road, as well as a banned left and right turn from Padnell Road into Longhayes Avenue.
The diversion route will be via Padnall Road, Rose Lane, Arneways Avenue and vice versa.
The second phase will then close the section of Longhayes Avenue between Sheepcotes Road and Roles Grove.
This phase will also result in the closure Crabtree Avenue and Roles Grove in both directions.
Diversion routes here will be via Arneways Avenue, Rose Lane, and Sheepcotes Road or via Arneways Avenue and Padnall Road.
The final phase shuts Longhayes Avenue from its junction with Roles Grove to its junction with Arneways Avenue, including banned right and left turns from Arneways Avenue into Longhayes Avenue.
Alternative routes will be via Padnall Road, Arneways Avenue and vice versa.
