A140 Long Stratton – Temporary Closure of Norwich Road

Following the successful completion of works on Parkers Lane the southern access of the A140 Church Lane roundabout to the north of Long Stratton will be temporarily closed to all through traffic from Monday 15 September 2025 for up to 3 weeks.

Signed diversions will be in place, with all Long Stratton traffic advised to enter or exit the town via Parkers Lane and the new A140 bypass during this time.

All through traffic will continue to use the bypass as normal.

This closure will allow final tie in and surfacing works at the Church Lane roundabout to be safely completed.

All bus services in both directions will enter and exit the town via Parkers Lane and loop round via Swan Lane and Flowerpot Lane.

Any stops within in the town north of Swan Lane will not be served whilst this closure is in place.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and advise passengers to check with bus operators for any alterations to timings.

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 occur.

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.
