Drivers are set to face disruption on major routes near the city during roadworks costing £500,000. Part of the NDR, officially known as the A1270 Broadland Northway, will be closed at the Postwick Bridge later this month. The A1042 Yarmouth Road at the Postwick Hub junction and the A47 westbound slip roads will also be closed.

The first phase on the NDR will begin on June 17 and last three weeks. It will include repairs to the bridge deck surfacing, faulty sub-surface drainage and waterproofing beneath the road surface.
A temporary repair was carried out in November to allow the road to be fully open until this summer when permanent repairs could be carried out.

A northbound road closure will be in place, allowing southbound traffic to be redirected on to the northbound lane to create a one-way system.
This will allow access to the A47 and the Postwick Park & Ride site to be maintained. Northbound traffic will be able to use a short diversion via Yarmouth Road, Broadlan.
