Norfolk County Council has issued an update to road closures around the A1066 in Diss.
Work is underway on the £407,800 scheme to, when complete, improve traffic flow and cut delays on the notorious bottleneck road.
A county council spokesman said: "As a result of further detailed planning, we have been able to identify reductions to the road closure periods.
"As a result, the works are now expected to be completed by November 7, 2022.
"The proposed works will include the removal of the existing mini roundabout and then installation of a traffic signal-controlled junction in its place.
The remaining closure dates are:
- Victoria Road from Friday October 28 at 7pm until 7pm Sunday, October 30.
- Victoria Road from Friday, November 4 at 7pm until 7pm on Sunday November 6.
- Vince’s Road: First weekend: From 6pm Saturday, October 29th to 6am Monday October 31
- Second weekend: Friday November 4 at 7pm until Monday, November 7 at 6am (15-minute closure periods for Vince’s Road Saturday November 5 at 10pm until Sunday, November 6 at 2am.
The closure for Vince’s Road will be between 10pm and 6am and will be for 15-minute periods, this timing is proposed to maintain access as best as possible and to reduce the impact to drivers.
For all closure periods on the A1066 Victoria Road a signed diversion route will be in place to direct traffic around the A road network.
Access to businesses and properties will be maintained from one end of the closure at all times, however some delays may not be avoidable
The spokesperson added: "Norfolk County Council apologises for any delays which occur because of our works and thanks people for their patience while this improvement work is carried out.
The work is being carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Community and Environmental Services Department and their contractors.
In addition to the A1066 Victoria Road and Vince’s Road junction works, there will be drainage improvement works on the A1066, near to the Sawmills junction.
These works are programmed to follow on from the Vince’s Road junction works and will be constructed under temporary traffic signals.
