I’m writing to tell you that we plan to carry out resurfacing work on the A47 eastbound Postwick Interchange exit slip road. Once complete, drivers should benefit from a safer and better-defined road surface.
We plan to complete this work over two nights, startingon Monday 17 August 2026. We will work between 8pm and 6am, weather permitting.

To carry out the work safely, we will need to close the A14 eastbound Postwick Interchange exit slip road, and divert traffic as follows:
- Continue Eastbound: Stay on the A47 eastbound past the closed Postwick Interchange exit.
- Reach Roundabout: Drive ahead to the Brundall Cucumber Lane Roundabout.
- Turn Around: At the roundabout take the exit to rejoin the A47 westbound.
- Exit at Destination: Travel back towards Postwick Interchange on the A47 westbound to reach your exit and continue your journey.
Please note that there will be no emergency vehicle access through the road during the work.
A map of the diversion has been included below.

Work is due to start on 31 July 2026 to surface dress a section of Thunder Lane, Thorpe St. Andrew, between Plumstead Road East to A1242 Yarmouth Road. To allow the work to be carried out safely and swiftly, it will be necessary to close the road to through traffic when the surface dressing work is underway, line painting is being carried out, and cat’s eyes (road studs) are being renewed. Access to properties will be maintained at all times.
The work is weather dependent and road closures will only be in place for a few hours at a time.

A fully signed diversion route will be in operation for the duration of the works. The County Council thanks people for their patience while this essential road maintenance work is carried out.
The work is expected to cost approximately £40,500 and will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Infrastructure Department and their contractor Kier Highway Services.

This year 351 miles of Norfolk’s roads will receive a new seal to extend the life of the road. The new seal consists of a thin layer of bitumen and chippings which is laid onto the road. This helps prevent water penetration and helps stop potholes opening up.
The action of vehicles passing over the new surface plays an important part in helping the new surface to settle in. People are urged to drive slowly and considerately across the new surface until it is bedded in, and highway teams return a few days later to sweep up the loose stones.
