Road closure on B1077 Attleborough Road, Great Ellingham, Rocklands for Surface Dressing Works

Work is due to start on 01 June to surface dress a section of the The Street, Great Ellingham, Rocklands between The Street and Bow Street. To allow the work to be carried out safely and swiftly, it will be necessary to close the road to through traffic on a number of dates 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, which is weather dependent, will be carried out in phases. Road closures will only be in place for a few hours at a time on the following dates:

01 June (Road Stud Removal) – Evening / Overnight Works – 19:00 – 06:00 – Road Closure

10 June (First Surface Dressing) – Evening / Overnight Works – 19:00 – 06:00 – Road Closure

25 June (Lining/ Road Stud Replacement) – Evening / Overnight Works – 19:00 – 06:00 – Road Closure

Residents and businesses are encouraged to check the advanced warning signs on site for the latest updates.

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 £46,000 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.
