A47 Acle roundabout to Vauxhall roundabout: resurfacing

 Dear Sir/Madam

On 7 November 2023, we wrote to you advising of work to resurface parts of the A47, just outside of Vauxhall Holiday Park, and the need to close A47 between Acle Roundabout and Vauxhall Roundabout as a result.

I am writing to you today to inform you that we will need to revisit the area to undertake some remedial works to bring the surface of the road up to the required standard.

We plan to complete this work over five nights between Monday 18 March and Friday 22 March. We will work between 8pm and 6am on weeknights only, weather conditions permitting.

Closures and diversions

Whilst the A47 is closed, eastbound traffic will be diverted from the A47 at Trowse Newton to travel southbound on the A146. Traffic will then join the A143 at Gillingham to re-join the A47 at Beccles Road, A47 interchange.

Traffic heading westbound will follow the same diversion as above but in reverse.

A map of the diversions can be found below.

Could you please let people know that reports for street name plates can be logged via our website, www.southnorfolkandbroadland.gov.uk/planning/street-naming-numbering.   All other highway signs are the responsibility of Norfolk County Council, reporting for them is via, www.norfolk.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/roads/report-a-problem.

Update: A47 between Brundall and Acle: safety improvements 

I’m writing to update you on our essential safety improvement works on the A47 between Brundall and Acle. This work includes improving warning signs, road markings, road studs, vegetation clearance, verge reinstatement and carriageway resurfacing, which will ensure the A47 remains in a safe and serviceable condition.

We need to carry out some further work in the vicinity of Brundall Roundabout to complete these improvements, which will involve road marking and sign installations.

This work will take place from Monday 15 January, lasting four nights, working between the hours of 8pm and 6am

Closures and diversions

To carry out the work safely, we will need to close parts the A47 westbound and divert traffic as detailed below:

Date Closure
Monday 15 January Full westbound closure of A47 between Acle Roundabout and Postwick Interchange
Tuesday 16 January to Thursday 18 January Full westbound closure of A47 between Acle Roundabout and Brundall Roundabout

A47 westbound traffic will be diverted to turn around at Acle Roundabout and follow the A47, A143, and A146, before re-joining the A47 at Postwick Interchange.

Access to local villages

To minimise disruption on locals, we are taking additional traffic management measures to enable access and egress from local villages. These are listed below:

  • Despite the A47 being closed westbound at Acle Roundabout, westbound traffic will still be able to access the A47 westbound between A47 Acle entry slip and Lingwood Road. Traffic will reach a ‘hard’ closure point at High Noon Lane, Blofield, meaning access into Blofield and Brundall is maintained.
  • Whilst works on Brundall roundabout take place, temporary two-way lights will be stationed between the roundabout approaches at Cucumber Lane and Yarmouth Road, allowing the services to remain open and travel between Brundall and Blofield via Cucumber Lane.

Rail Travel

These are exceptional times. Coronavirus is changing how everyone lives, works and travels. We know that Britain’s railway is vital to keep the nation connected and we wanted to update you on what is happening to train services.

In order to keep trains running with fewer staff over what may be a prolonged period of disruption for the country, we have worked with government to switch to a reduced timetable from Monday 23 March. It means that essential workers will continue to be able to get to their jobs over the coming weeks and months, and that trains will continue to deliver the goods that keep our supermarket shelves stacked and our power stations running.

There will be around half the number of trains running compared to a normal weekday, with early morning and late evening services where possible to support those doing shift work. New train times will be available from midday Sunday 22 March. Please check National Rail for more information and before you set out.

We are monitoring journeys closely and should it become necessary in the weeks ahead, we will adjust services to ensure they’re being delivered to where they’re needed most. In the meantime, if your journey is essential and you need to travel by train, please follow public health advice.

We would like to thank all customers for their support as we work through this time of extraordinary national challenge. We would also like to thank all our colleagues in the rail industry who, like other key workers, are to be commended for putting the needs of the country first, and whose safety remains front of mind. Together, they are keeping the country connected.

Sincerely,

The Railcard Team
