ROAD CLOSURE: Layham Road, Layham
WHEN: 8th June to 10th July
National Grid is getting ready for the main construction phase of the Bramford to Twinstead Reinforcement . In preparation for this, we need to build a new, widened site entrance (known as a bellmouth) so vehicles can safely access our working areas.
To keep everyone safe while Balfour Beatty carry out this work on our behalf, we need to temporarily close part of Layham Road, north of Lower Layham, from Monday 8 June to Friday 10 July.
A full road closure is needed as the narrow carriageway means that the works cannot be carried out safely whilst keeping the road open.
We will display advance warning signs and clearly mark the work area prior to the closure. We will also clearly signpost the diversion route, which you can see on the map to the right.
After the diversion ends on 10 July, we’ll introduce a reduced speed limit at this location to keep everyone safe. The reduced speed limit will be clearly signposted and remain in place until the end of 2029.
We understand that our work may cause some disruption to your journey, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Our teams will work to complete this work as efficiently and safely as possible.
