Important roadworks information
A47 eastbound Kings Lynn between Pullover Roundabout and Saddlebow Interchange
I’m writing to tell you that we plan to carry out a total closure for essential resurfacing on the A47 eastbound Kings Lynn between Pullover Roundabout and Saddlebow Interchange. Once complete, drivers and residents will benefit from a safer, smoother and better-defined road surface.
We plan to complete this work overnight starting on Monday 8 June 2026. We will be working between 8pm and 6am, weather permitting.
Closures and diversions
To carry out the work safely, we will need to apply a closure on the A47 Peterborough Bypass between junction 17 and junction 18 and divert traffic as follows:
Drivers should head westbound on the A47 to Wisbech and turn left onto the A1101
Continue on the A1101 through Outwell, then turn right onto the A1122 towards Downham Market
At Downham Market, turn left onto the A10 northbound and follow it to King's Lynn
At Hardwick roundabout, rejoin the A47 eastbound
Please note emergency vehicles will have access through the works
