Pavement works in Upwell likely to take up to 10 weeks to complete, says Norfolk County Council

Temporary traffic lights will be installed in a West Norfolk village this month due to pavement reconstruction work.

Norfolk County Council has issued a public notice to inform residents and motorists the work will take place along Main Road, Upwell from Mudds Drove to Paradise Farm.

The work, which will cost £74,000, will begin on Monday, January 11, and is likely to take up to 10 weeks to complete.

This work is being done because the existing surface of the pavement is breaking apart and needs reconstruction and resurfacing.

Temporary traffic lights will be used on Main Road for the duration of the works to allow vehicles to safely pass the works.

And a temporary path will be made available for pedestrians on the same side of the road.

The county council notice states: "Disruption will be minimised as far as possible and access to properties within the limits of the works will be maintained.

"The works will require the path to be closed to pedestrians whilst works are in progress.

"The county council thanks people for their patience while this pavement reconstruction work is carried out."
