A SECTION of the Joondalup Drive and Wanneroo Road intersection will be closed overnight.

Traffic travelling east will not be able to turn right from Joondalup Drive onto Wanneroo Road southbound between 10pm today and 5am tomorrow.

The closure is to allow resurfacing works as part of the intersection upgrade and a detour route will be in place through Tapping.
