Road set to close for £44,000 improvement works

The overnight closures will be B1077 Winfarthing Road, Mill Road and The Street for surface dressing works

Work is due to start on Tuesday June 17 to surface dress a section of B1077 in the parishes of Winfarthing and Shelfanger.

Norfolk Highways say: “To allow the work to be carried out safely and swiftly it will be necessary to close the road to through traffic on a number of dates when the surface dressing work is underway, line painting is being carried out, and cat’s eyes are being renewed. Access to properties will be maintained at all times.”

The work, which is weather dependant will be carried out in phases.

Road closures will only be in place for a few hours at a time on the following dates:

June 17 (road stud removal) evening / overnight works 7pm - 5am Road Closure

June 26 (first surface dressing) evening / overnight works 7pm - 5am Road Closure

July 11 (lining/road stud replacement) evening / overnight works 7pm - 5am Road Closure.

A fully signed diversion route will be in operation for the duration of the works.

The work is expected to cost approximately £44,000 and will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Infrastructure Department and their contractors Tarmac and Keir Highway Services.
