The A47 will be closed at Postwickfrom 8pmtomorrow night (Thursday 16 April) for preparatory work ahead of the weekendclosure of the road for bridge beam lifts.
The Thursday night closure will be lifted no later than 6am on Friday, 17 April,or as soon as the work has finished. It is hoped that it will be completed in the early hours of Friday.
Unfortunately, for eastbound traffic (towards Great Yarmouth) the diversion using the Postwick junction slip roads and new access roads (see weekend closure, below)will not be available. A47 traffic heading east on Norwich Southern Bypass will therefore be diverted at the Trowse junction, with a lengthy diversion route using the A146, A143, and A12, re-joiningthe A47 at Vauxhall roundabout.
Westbound traffic will be diverted using the Postwick junction slip roads, so will not be significantly affected.
