A140 Long Stratton - Overnight/Weekend Closure
To enable tie in works for the northern roundabout connection to the new Long Stratton Bypass an overnight and full weekend closure of the A140 Norwich Road will be required to the north of the town between St Michael’s Road and Brands Lane.
The A140 will be completely closed to traffic overnight at this location from 20.00 on Thursday 3 July until 06:00 on Friday 4 July and then a full weekend closure from 20:00 on Friday 4 July until 06:00 on Monday 7 July.
The official signed diversion route will be via Loddon and Bungay on the A47/A146/A143 and vice versa.
Aspects of the required work are weather dependent or could be adversely affected by other events out of our control. Updates will be provided should any significant changes to the plan occur.
If you have any queries in the meantime, please do not hesitate to get in contact using the details below.
The work will be carried out by Octavius Infrastructure who are delivering the bypass on behalf of Norfolk County Council. We thank the public for their patience whilst these essential works are completed.

Church Lane, Edges Lane, Hall Lane and Parkers Lane in Long Stratton to be closed to allow construction of new bypass
Construction work on the new Long Stratton Bypass is due to start from Monday 22 April 2024, with expected completion in Autumn 2025.
Following recent advance works to prepare the site it is now necessary to close all side roads the new route will cross.
Church Lane, Edge’s Lane, Hall Lane and Parkers Lane will therefore be closed for the duration of the works. Local diversions via suitable routes will be signed on the ground.
On completion, Hall Lane will bridge over the bypass and Church Lane will be realigned and connected to a new roundabout at the northern end of the route. Parkers Lane will be realigned to form a link from the existing A140 to a roundabout toward the southern end of the bypass.
The new road also crosses several local footpaths. All of these will also need to be closed but at least two will be available throughout the works, using signed diversions where needed. All diversion routes will also be available on request.
Some future temporary traffic management will be needed on the A140 to join the new bypass to the existing road network and some short-term road closures will also be necessary for surfacing. Further details on this will be provided at a later stage.
Access will be maintained throughout for residents/businesses located within the works areas, but some minor delays be experienced whilst key activities are in progress.
We understand any disruption on the roads is frustrating and will be working closely with our contractors throughout the project to minimise this as much as possible.
If you do have any queries or concerns, then please contact a member of the team on the details below.
You can also sign up for email updates on the wider project via the main project webpage.
The County Council thanks the public for their patience while this work is carried out.
