A town’s busy main road is set to close for essential resurfacing work.

Part of the A1075 Norwich Road in Thetford, from just north of the Mallow Road roundabout to where the road meets the A1066, will be closed until Friday, April 15.

The work will see the worn-out road surface removed and replaced with a brand-new asphalt surface.

The contractor will provide access for residents to and from their properties during the work, however there may be delays during this time.

A fully signed diversion route will be in place for through traffic.

Norfolk County Council has thanked the public for their patience while this road surface improvement work is carried out.
