    Patching work to begin in May

    We’re resurfacing the A47 between Swaffham and Wendling. This work will include simple resurfacing to patch specific areas until we can return to complete full carriageway resurfacing in this area. 

    We’ll work weeknights (8pm to 6am) from Tuesday 27 May and will last approximately 3 weeks, weather permitting. 

    Closures and diversions 

    To work safely, we’ll need to close the A47 between Swaffham and Wendling, and divert traffic as detailed below: 

    Traffic travelling eastbound on the A47 towards Dereham will need to: 

    • exit the A47 at Swaffham onto the A1065 
    • turn onto the A134 at Mundford 
    • join the A11 at Mundford Road Roundabout 
    • continue on the A11 towards Cringleford 
    • rejoin the A47 at Thickthorn Interchange
