A busy Norwich road will be closed this evening for two nights as Norfolk County Council completes major roadworks.

Martineau Lane will be closed to inbound traffic from the junction with A146 Trowse Bypass to County Hall roundabout. It will be closed from 7pm tonight until 7am tomorrow and the same Friday night into Saturday.

A fully signed diversion for all inbound traffic via A146 Barrett Road, A140 Ipswich Road and A147 Queens Road and Bracondale will be in operation for the duration of the work.

The road will remain open for all outbound traffic as normal and access to businesses and properties within the limits of the closure will be maintained but people have been warned of some disruption.

The closure is due to major carriageway repair and resurfacing works which will cost £55,000.
