Hide AdTraffic has been backed up from the A43 / A6003 roundabout into town and along the A43 link road at busy times.
A Western Power Distribution spokesman said that their work would be complete today (Thursday, February 14) and resurfacing works would be carried out before Sunday when the traffic lights will be removed.
However, next Wednesday (February 20), there could be more disruption as Anglian Water install their own temporary traffic lights for a day to fix a fire hydrant at the Northfield Avenue / Rockingham Road roundabout.
