A busy road into Norwich will be closed for a week over the next month for roadworks.

Ipswich Road will be affected in July and August by roadworks to resurface the road, install in-road cycle lanes and double yellow lines, introduce a 20mph speed limit and alter parking bays. 

The surface dressing is happening on July 23 and all other works will take place from August 2 to August 7 between Harford Manor School and Grove Avenue.

On July 23, Ipswich Road will be closed from Newmarket Road to Daniels Road between 9.30am and 4pm.

During the August works Ipswich Road will be closed from Newmarket Road to Daniels Road from 7pm to 6am.

Those driving into the city during this time can use Hall Road, Newmarket Road or Unthank Road. 

The work is part of a £1.2m project funded by the Department for Transport.
