A11 southbound between Attleborough and Thetford: urgent resurfacing works
/in Traffic /by enquiries@attleboroughtc.org.ukAs part of Highways England Network Recovery, Kier will be performing urgent resurfacing works at the above location. Kier will be carrying out urgent repairs to road surfaces across the region damaged by the recent severe weather, with roads in the East particularly badly affected.
Highways England issued the attached press release on Friday 13 April detailing the issue surrounding potholes on their road network, as a result of the recent winter weather. In the coming months, Kier will need to work quickly and flexibly with our supply chain to carry out the repairs necessary to bring the network back to normal conditions as expected for this time of year. This means that we will close parts of the network at short notice to allow us to safely carry out repairs. Where we do close the road, we will always aim to do our work at night, off-peak to minimise disruption to our customers.
We’ll be resurfacing the A11 southbound carriageway between Attleborough and Thetford overnight from Tuesday 22 May, lasting three nights, with working hours of 8pm to 6am, weather permitting. The road will be closed from Fen Street (Stag) roundabout, Attleborough to High Bridgham Road, Brettenham Heath.
Diversion route
A clearly signed diversion will be in place via the A47 Thickthorn interchange eastbound, Ipswich Road interchange to take the A140 south towards Diss, then the A1066 west towards Thetford. Traffic that disregards this diversion will be turned around at the Fen Street (Stag) Roundabout, Attleborough to head north on the A11 to join the strategic diversion at the A47 Thickthorn Interchange.
We advise motorists to allow extra time to complete their journey whilst using the diversion route, whilst sticking to speed limits and following appropriate signage. We would be grateful if you would share information locally about the works.

We have carefully planned these works to take place during weekday off peak hours, when traffic flows are at their lightest. We apologise for the local inconvenience these works may cause and thank you for your patience whilst we carry out strategic maintenance to the road network.

A11/A47 THICKTHORN INTERCHANGE
/in Traffic /by adamDear Local Stakeholder,
A11/A47 Thickthorn interchange, Cringleford: major project survey works
I write to inform you that Kier will be completing numerous survey works at the above location on behalf of Highways England. These surveys will allow us to gain valuable information on the existing ground and network condition, helping Highways England design and programme future works necessary for improving the strategic road network.
We have recently been conducting some low level survey works and established our small site compound on private land, just off Cantley Lane, Cringleford. Now that our initial surveys are complete, we will be stepping up our works and surveying a wider area. These works are currently programmed to finish in late August. A small number of surveys will continue on private land during daytime hours. Please note works will not occur during weekends or public holidays.
The majority of works will occur near or on the road surface at various locations near Thickthorn interchange, and will require overnight roadworks, including traffic management. Working hours are 8pm to 6am, weeknights only, weather permitting. Traffic management measures will include slip road and single lane closures, use of temporary traffic lights and full road closures.
Future works and notifications
Throughout our programme of works, we will endeavour to provide advanced notice in writing to adjacent properties impacted by full road closures or other significant construction activity, as well as emails and updates with relevant local stakeholders. If you know of any stakeholders who you feel need to be added to this stakeholder list, please let me know.
The areas where surveys will be taken is shown below. A letter detailing the first stage of road closures starting Friday 20 April is attached.
