A busy road is set to close for five nights to make way for carriageway resurfacing. 

A section of old worn-out road is to be replaced on London Road in Wymondham, starting on the evening of September 9. 

The work is estimated to cost £153,000 and will be carried out by Norfolk County Council's Infrastructure Department and its contractors.

The road will be temporarily closed between 7.00pm and 6.00am every evening until the work is finished, which is anticipated to take up to five nights. 

The council says the resurfacing will give vehicles an “improved quality of ride” and “reduce the maintenance costs associated with older, deteriorated road surfaces”. 

Access to properties within the work will be maintained but unavoidable delays are still anticipated. 

 A fully signed diversion route will be in place.
