Holly Lane, a popular route between Reepham Road and the B1149 Holt Road, will close from Monday 1 Augustfor the rest of the month to allow the diversion of a deep gas main.
Drayton Lane will be temporarily reopened to provide an alternative route, but the difficult bends close to Horsford make this an unsuitable diversion route for HGVs, whose drivers should divert via Norwich ring road. Drayton Lane is crossed by the route of the Northern Distributor Road (NDR) and temporary traffic lights will be in place to allow construction plant to cross safely.
Also from Monday 1 August, access to the control tower area of Norwich International Airport will no longer be possible using Old Norwich Road, Horsham St Faith, which is being closed where it is crossed by the NDR (beyond the Aviation Museum entrance, which will not be affected). Access will instead be via Bullock Hill.
Preliminary work, including moving street lights,will begin next week on adding a segregated left turn lane to the north-west roundabout at the Postwick junction. This phase of workwill have minimal impact on traffic.
On Monday 8 August Buxton Road will be closed for three days for utility service diversions. This is a reduction from a five-day closure originally proposed. Cyclists and pedestrians will be allowed through the closure.
