Norfolk County Council will upgrade Norwich's St Andrews Street and Charing Cross junction from January 4, 2027, for about eight weeks.
Norfolk County Council will upgrade the junction of St Andrews Street and Charing Cross in Norwich from January 4, 2027, lasting around eight weeks. Work will replace traffic lights, add new signals for cyclists using the westbound cycle lane, and widen the pavement on one side of Charing Cross to create more room for pedestrians.
The junction will remain open throughout the project, but temporary four-way traffic lights and lane closures will be needed while improvements are carried out. St John's Maddermarket will be closed on January 10 and January 17. During those closures, vehicles weighing less than 7.5 tonnes can use a diversion route via Lobster Lane. Larger vehicles will not be able to access St John's Maddermarket or Pottergate on either day.
