A47 Road Closures

Announcement from Galliford Try

To minimise disruption to traffic and to allow for works to be completed safely, the A47 will be fully closed eastbound from Dereham A1075 Junction to Honingham Roundabout and westbound from Honingham roundabout to the Mattishall Road entry slip at Dereham from 6th – 8th January and from the Honingham Roundabout to Easton Roundabout from 9th – 10th January and will only be able to access Mattishall Road from the Honingham roundabout when heading east. All westbound traffic will have to leave the A47 at the Longwater Junction.

All side road access will be closed onto the A47. Residents living directly on the A47 will be escorted through the closure by traffic marshals where access is required during the closure. Access routes through the closure will be maintained for the Emergency Services.

The official HGV capable diversion route takes traffic south from Swaffham on the A1065 to Thetford then back along the A11 so the village is avoided.
