SHIRLEY High Street will close tonight (August 22) for highway maintenance.

Another overnight closure will also take place tomorrow night (August 23).

The closure is due to start tonight at 8pm and 6am.

The road will be closed from Anglesea Road junction to Shirley Avenue junction.

Southampton City Council say the work is routine maintenance and they expect "no significant disruption" as the work is taking place over night.

The work follows the lane closures on Western Esplanade, westbound, in Southampton City Centre this morning for emergency waterworks following a leak outside the former Toys R Us site.

The repairs will last three days and lanes will remained closed during the day.
