The A140 at Long Stratton set for a month of major resurfacing work

A £95,000 resurfacing project on the A140 at Long Stratton is set to start next week.

The work, which will see a section of the Norwich Road closed on a number of dates so that the road can be worked on, line painting carried out and have its cat’s eye road studs renewed, will start on June 16.

The project, carried out by Norfolk County Council’s community and environmental services department and their contractors Tarmac and Keir Highway Services, will be carried out in phases with any road closures only in place for a number of hours at a time.

The planned dates for the work are:

♦June 16: Road stud removal. Evening and overnight works after the last bus at 8.10pm.

♦June 27: Ssurface dressing. Overnight and early morning – road closure.

♦July 4: Surface dressing. Overnight and early morning – road closure

♦July 14: Road marking replacement. Evening and overnight works after the last bus at 8.10pm.

♦July 14: Road stud replacement. Evening and overnight works after the last bus at 8.10pm.

Norfolk County Council says a fully signed diversion route will be in operation for the duration of these works.
