A busy road will close for periods in April and May as part of an £11.7m project on roads across the county.

Norfolk County Council has said it will close the A148 Fakenham Road at Tattersett on several dates while surfacing work is under way, line painting is being carried out and cat’s eyes are being renewed.

The road will be closed to through traffic between 7pm on April 29 and 6am on April 30 and from 7pm on May 30 until 6am on May 31.

The council has warned these dates have a two-day allowance depending on the weather.

Surface dressing will also be completed under convoy during this time but no closure will be required for this.

The work, which will cost £11.785m over 280 miles of Norfolk’s road network, will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Community and Environmental Services Department and its contractors, Tarmac.
