    Browick Road entry and exit slip road closures starts 5 October 2026

    Due to unforeseen circumstances, we're unable to complete work at Browick Road earlier this year.

    We're now working from Monday 5 October. We’ll work overnight between 8pm and 6am on weeknights only, weather permitting. 

    Closures and diversions 

    To work safely, we'll close the A11 southbound entry and exit slip roads at Browick Road.

    We'll also need temporary traffic lights on the flyover bridge. 

    A11 southbound exit slip

    • A11 northbound at Browick Road where they will take the next exit slip onto the B1135
    • at the roundabout, take the third exit onto the B1135 underpass
    • turn right at the roundabout to join the A11 southbound

    A11 southbound entry slip

    • at the junction, turn right onto Station Road
    • at the roundabout, turn right to cross over the A11

    Lighting replacement work

    We'll be replacing the lights at the Station Road entry and exit slip roads, including the flyover bridges. 

    LED lights are better for the environment and use far less energy to produce the same amount of light.

    They also last longer and require less maintenance, meaning fewer road closures to fix lighting in the future and more importantly, safer roads for everyone.

    We'll work over six weeks, starting from Monday 2 February until the end of March 2026. We’ll be working overnight from 8pm to 6am, weather permitting. 

    Closures and diversions 

    London Road / Wymondham Diversion
