A47 westbound entry slip closure at Postwick – bridge joint repair

I am writing to tell you that we plan to carry out bridge joint repair works on the A47 westbound entry slip closure at Postwick. This will ensure the A47 continues to remain in a safe and serviceable condition.

We plan to complete this work over one night on Monday 27 January. We will work between 8pm and 6am weather permitting.

Closures and diversions

To carry out the work safely, we will need to close the A47 westbound entry slip at Postwick and divert traffic as follows:

• Traffic wishing to join the A47 westbound will be diverted onto the A1270.
• At the Postwick Interchange Roundabout, take the second exit to merge onto the A47 eastbound.
• At the next roundabout, take the fourth exit to rejoin the A47 westbound, where the diversion will end.

A map of the diversion can be found below.

A47 between Brundall and Acle: safety improvements

We plan to carry out essential safety improvement works on the A47 between Brundall and Acle. This work includes improving warning signs, road markings, road studs, vegetation clearance, verge reinstatement and carriageway resurfacing, which will ensure the A47 remains in a safe and serviceable condition.

Work will take place at the following locations:

• A47 Brundall roundabout
• A47 eastbound at North Burlingham
• A47 eastbound between North Burlingham and Acle

We plan to complete this work over five weeks between Monday 9 October and Friday 10 November. We will work between 8pm and 6am on weeknights only, weather conditions permitting.

Closures and diversions

To carry out the work safely, we will need to close the A47 and divert traffic as detailed below:

Week number	Closure
Week 1	Full closure of A47 between Acle roundabout and Postwick interchange, in both directions
Week 2	A47 Eastbound between Postwick interchange and Acle roundabout
Week 3	A47 Westbound between Acle roundabout and Postwick interchange
Week 4	Full closure of A47 between Acle roundabout and Postwick interchange, in both directions
Week 5	Contingency – full closure of A47 between Acle roundabout and Postwick interchange, in both directions

Strategic eastbound traffic will be diverted from the A47 at Trowse Newton to travel southbound on the A146. Traffic will then join the A143 at Gillingham to re-join the A47 at Beccles Road, A47 interchange. ​

Westbound traffic will follow the same diversion as above but in reverse.  ​

Access to local villages

To minimise disruption on locals, we are taking additional traffic management measures to enable access and egress from local villages. These are listed below:

• During weeks 1 and 3-5 of this scheme, despite the A47 being closed westbound at Acle roundabout, westbound traffic will still be able to access the A47 westbound between A47 Acle entry slip and Lingwood Rood. Traffic will reach a ‘hard’ closure point at High Noon Lane, Blofield, meaning access into Blofield and Brundall is maintained.
• Whilst works on Brundall roundabout take place, temporary two-way lights will be stationed between the roundabout approaches at Cucumber Lane and Yarmouth Road, allowing the services to remain open and travel between Brundall and Blofield via Cucumber Lane.
