Road Works 2020

[TheQ]

The A149 water works at the Catfield end have been removed,  the works between Stalham staithe Road (Richardsons)  and the Tesco turning were still there 2 days ago.  They were removing cats eyes today on the same stretch of road,  which suggests road surfacing is about to take place. 

[TheQ]

I can confirm the road waterworks on the A149 have been removed.. 

An odd one not really on the road but may affect you. 

Half the area of the car park behind the Tescos petrol filling station Stalham has been fenced off.  That's about 1/4 of the total carparks.  There is a double height works portacabins with stairs on site.  I have no idea what they're up to,  but the works offices seem to indicate it will be major.. 

[TheQ]

The road at  (very at) Wayford bridge has been covered with multicoloured marks, expect big holes to be dug shortly..

 

The work at Tescos Stalham is a  rebuild of the internals, including new refrigeration units. 

I note they've put barriers alongside the Chinese at Hoveton / Wroxham Bridge, I'm guessing to stop the idiots who  think parking there to get something to eat is a good idea, reduces the other idiots who think wandering into the busy A road just because they are on holiday is also a good idea..

Does this mean a contraflow past the biscuits and temporary lights by the bakery?

You'll be lucky if you can find the biscuits, every thing has been in a constant case of musical chairs as the work goes on..

Again not roadworks but does affect drivers,  the Tesco Stalham petrol station will be closed from the 13th to the 16th June  inclusive for a rebuild...

Surely that is a refit rather than a rebuild in 3 days.

[TheQ]

Well, the internals are being rebuilt with new refrigeration units,  I believe the counters will be rebuilt.   externally they have cleared the " island " between the Tesco car park road and the station forecourt of vegetation,  what's happening with that I don't know,  the big sign outside is covered in scaffolding.  It's likely all the signage on the front of the building will be replaced.  The pumps themselves are likely to stay they are only a couple of years old,  though some trim and signage will probably be replaced. 

Yes of course 13th to the 16th of July... 

 

[TheQ]

Over the last few days they've had a trailer mounted machine doing what appeared to be bore holes into the road surface of Watford bridge.  The road surface and edges are now covered with even more paint marks.  I suspect a major resurface / rebuild of the road will take place. 

[TheQ]

New temporary traffic lights on Wroxham road,  at the old road that used to go to spixworth. 

No one working there of course.. 

[TheQ]

The temporary traffic lights on Wroxham road have moved to between the speed camera and the Green man pub,  where they are actually digging a hole..

Green man pub?

They are just about to start connecting Ludham to the water tower with 3Km of new piping, expect road works in the area.. this is to stop taking water from Catfield Fen.

Water instead will come from Norwich.. I think that means more water flowing into Barton Broad..

[TheQ]

That Wayford bridge area where they did some test borings on.

The Bridge itself is now surrounded by cones and turned over signs. It suggests that, what ever they are doing is about to start, and with those test borings, It might well be something quite major. Some of the signs indicate it will be single lane light controlled working.

Yes just seen a FB post relating to Wayford Bridge being closed for works in November!

 

Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

 

 

 

 

[TheQ]

Yep, I'd just come on here to report that, though I've not yet found it on any official list of coming road works, it might be a bit to early. it's supposedly for re-waterproofing the deck.

The cones and signs I'd previously reported have now disappeared.

[TheQ]

I've now seen an official letter.

A149 Closed at Wayford  Bridge for deck resurfacing / waterproofing, total closure for 3 weeks  from the 2nd November they will doing 24 hour working to do the task.. I suspect not a good time to stay at the hotel or those floating holiday homes..

I wouldn't be surprised if the are navigation restrictions although that's not mentioned in the letter.

[TheQ]

New road works on the A149 near Wayford bridge.,  this time it's between the two road entrances of the Hotel with traffic lights  either side. 

[TheQ]

The Wayford road works have cleared, 3 days of traffic lights for.....

Some manhole cover refitting .... on the pavement...(and there's some grass between pavement and road).

[TheQ]

Two sets of road works to report, should you be able to travel..

The Wroxham - Norwich road , in Wroxham outside the social club between the Bridge and the Avenues.. Hole in road plus traffic lights..

Stalham right outside the Tesco's warehouse entrance, traffic lights at the Macarthy and Stone misdescribed housing for the elderly, building site, I'm guessing to connect the internal road to the Tesco road. It's pretty chaotic at busy times at anyway, It's causing a nightmare for Artics trying to get into Tesco.. 

 

[SwanR]

Thanks for the update. We went through the lights in Wroxham yesterday and they weren’t causing any problems. 

[TheQ]

The road works through Wroxham have cleared..

[BrundallNavy]

NDR closed between the Wroxham roundabout and the Salhouse one this morning, not sure why.  Also another car on top of the Plumstead road one nearly made it to the other side.
