Hide AdDelays are expected because Market Place, a one-way street, is used by motorists travelling towards the Leicester, Nottingham and Asfordby areas.
A spokesperson explained: “The road closure will safely allow Severn Trent Water to safely undertake works to their sewer system.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused during these works.”
Residents of the streets leading from Leicester Street and Market Place will be permitted access from Leicester Road.
The council say the works will impact on both the Centrebus 113 and Arriva 5a bus services through town.
