Work to complete a city centre road scheme has been delayed because of the freezing weather.
The finishing touches for the £3.5 million revamp of Humberstone Gate East in Leicester city centre were due to take place over the Easter weekend - including some resurfacing work at the road's junction with Charles Street.
However Leicester City Council's highways engineers say the bad weather means it is currently too cold to lay the asphalt needed to complete the work.
The three days of work have now been provisionally rescheduled for the May Bank Holiday weekend.
Improvements across the rest of the project are already complete, with only this section of resurfacing work outstanding.
Motorists can continue using the roads and the junction itself as normal in the meantime until the work is done.
City council highways manager Barry Pritchard said: "Unfortunately due to the freezing weather, we've taken the decision not to carry out this work as planned this weekend.
"The temperatures are so low that there's a chance the asphalt will not set properly if we do the work at the moment.
"Humberstone Gate East itself is complete, and the resurfacing work needs to be done but can be delayed, so people will still be able to use the road normally until we can carry out the work once the weather has improved."
Signs advising motorists of the work and the traffic diversions are being removed, and bus stops which were to be affected by the works will now continue to operate as normal.
