Dear Sir/Madam
We wrote to you on 18 August informing you of electrical works that were required as part of the current works to resurface the A47 westbound between junction 15/Nene Parkway and Sutton roundabout, as well as other maintenance activities. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to start these works and have now rescheduled the works to start Monday 18 September, lasting 3 nights, with working hours of 8pm to 6am. Outside of these three nights, traffic management will continue as present.
Closures and diversions
To carry out the work safely, we will need to close the A47 in both directions between Wansford and junction 15/Nene Parkway. Whilst the road is closed, westbound traffic will be diverted via Nene Parkway (A1260), Fletton Parkway (A1139) and A1 northbound, to re-join the A47 at Wansford. Eastbound traffic will follow the same diversion in reverse.
A map showing the diversion can be found below.
Local access arrangements
As the A47 and Sutton Roundabout is closed during these works, vehicles accessing Sutton, Castor, Ailsworth and Upton will need to follow the below instructions.
Sutton, Castor and Ailsworth
