The removal of 24-hours lights from the A140 Cromer Road after the completion of major gas diversion work has provided a short respite for motorists, but signals will be in use again for the rest of this week (from Thursday 23 March). The signals will only be in use when needed to provide a safety zone while 34 beams are lifted into place on the bridge that will carry the A140 over Norwich Northern Distributor Road. These lifts can be delayed by any wind stronger than a moderate breeze, and although the reinforced concrete beams may all be in place by Friday evening, it is possible that work will have to continue into the weekend. B1149 Holt Road 24-hour signals
From Tuesday 28 March (corrected) 24-hour traffic lights will be in place at the roundabout construction site where Holt Road will connect with the realigned Drayton Lane, south of Horsford. These will be two-way lights, except for a period on 3-4 April when they will be four-way at the crossroads with Church Street and old Drayton Lane. The traffic lights will remain in use until the four-day closure (10-13 April) of Holt Road for the final surfacing and tie-in of the new Drayton Lane roundabout. The only access road at the southern end of Horsford will be Church Street to the A140 Cromer Road. Norfolk County Council and Balfour Beatty apologise for the disruption and inconvenience these unavoidable traffic management measures will cause to road users.
