i came through saturday and it was almost clear both ways but it was early evening,  just a heads up david, it is around 8 minutes from sutton bridge to the roundabout at kingslynn but going via wisbech it is 35 minutes providing you get by without problems,     when the work first started it was chaotic so i waited to see how long the queue was,  did a 3 point turn in the road, back to the roundabout and away on the diversion

Sounds a good plan. Thanks.

Currently stuck in the middle of the A11 roadworks, haven’t moved for 15 mins. 

[BrundallNavy]

On the move after 25 mins but no signs of what’s caused the hold up.

Does anybody know the state of the road works at Sutton Bridge? I'm down from Saturday and just wondering if i should take the Wisbech detour. 

Just come back this afternoon, it's fully open again, no holdup.

Thanks for the info. I'm currently sat in the McDonald's just before. I'll report what it was like when I get to the boat later.

Yes, it was for coffee and a stretch. Pleased to report that no delays at the bridge. Both sides operating as normal. Relief!

Talking to someone from S Lincs yesterday said that they are so ahead with the repairs to Sutton Bridge they can now stop works for the weekends.

Their Back!!!

yep traffic lights in Wroxham, just up hill from the car park.. a few feet down from the last big hole they dug... Looks like part of the road collapsed...

[Mouldy]

Read a post on FB that the road from Acle past the bridge is closed at The Hermitage due to a water leak.  They estimate it will take between 2 and 6 days to fix!

hmm Home via Coltishall tonight then..

Today we went to see Alan.Coming back almost 3 hours  normally about one hour twenty  minutes. Road works at Long Stratton, then Wroxsham.

Ian I have just read that the road closure at Acle may have been lifted this afternoon. Anglian Water have managed to fix the burst main sooner than anticipated. Guessing that might be a better way back to Martham than up through Wroxham if you're out and about at the weekend.

The Acle Bridge Inn reported on FB that the roadworks are still there but traffic light controlled now.  I haven’t been through, so unsubstantiated, but as the road closure must have impacted their non boat trade, I guess they’ve an interest in reporting the current status.
