Reepham Road will be closed to all traffic, including cyclists and pedestrians, for five days from Monday (14 November) to allow the new NDR roundabout to be surfaced and tied in with the existing road.
The work involves the use of heavy planing and surfacing plant, and is programmed for completion on Friday 18 November, when the road will be reopened as soon as it is safe to do so. Work will be carried out during the normal NDR working hours of 7am to 7pm, but it will not be possible to reopen the road overnight.
Diversion route Traffic approaching the closure from the north will be diverted via Fir Covert Road, the A1067 Fakenham Road, Boundary Road (Norwich Ring Road), returning to Reepham Road at the Boundary Junction. Traffic approaching the closure from the south will be diverted in the reverse direction.
A plan of the diversion route can be found on the Elgin roadworks website: https://roadworks.org/. (If viewing before the 14th, make sure the map is set to show ‘Next two weeks’, not just ‘Today’).
Thorpe Marriott and local access The barriers fully closing Reepham Road will be between Drewray Drive and Furze Lane, allowing access to Thorpe Marriott from the Norwich direction via Long Dale and Drewray Drive. Access to other premises on Reepham Road will be from one or other side of the closure.
Temporary traffic lights will be in use next week (14-18 November) as follows:
- A1067 Fakenham Road (road sign installation).
- B1149 Holt Road near the Drayton Lane/Church Street junction (utility service diversions).
- B1150 North Walsham Road (BT diversions).
Norfolk County Council and Balfour Beatty apologise for the inconvenience caused by these and other traffic management measures during construction of Norwich Northern Distributor Road.
