Drivers are being warned to avoid a main road after it melted in the heatwave
A heatwave has brought temperatures above 30C to the county with some areas predicted to reach 35C.
However, the high temperatures has caused damage to the A143 in Stanton, a village near Bury St Edmunds.
A spokesman for Suffolk Highways said: "The high temperatures currently being experiences across Suffolk have unfortunately led to heat damage to the road surface of the A143 at Stanton.
"Following a site inspection this morning, we will be on site for the rest of the day applying sand and granite dust to help prevent further melting and keep road users safe.
"If possible, please avoid the area and use an alternative route until further notice."
It is not the only road issue affecting drivers in Suffolk.
One lane is closed on the A14 eastbound in Ipswich after a road defect was discovered near Nacton.
There are delays on the major route as a result of the lane closure.
