A47 junction in Easton to close for three months from October

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 14:08 · Archive

The junction of Dereham Road and Church Lane in Easton will close from 21 October until early January 2027 for major reconstruction works.

The junction of Dereham Road and Church Lane in Easton will close from 7.30am on 21 October until early January 2027. The closure is enforced by Galliford Try and needed for full reconstruction of the junction and to create a new local access route to Norwich Road as part of an ongoing project to dual the A47.

Residents in Easton have already endured months of longer routes when travelling eastbound towards Dereham after the Easton roundabout was removed in the ongoing A47 project. Diversion routes will be in place during the three-month closure. Those heading eastbound will be advised to head west on Church Lane and left on Blind Lane to reach Dereham Road. Drivers going westbound will be diverted on to Dereham Road, then Marlingford Road before reaching Church Lane.

Galliford Try has apologised for any disturbance caused by the work and said it will try to keep disruption to a minimum where possible.
