A busy stretch of the A47 will be shut for two nights next month due to resurfacing work.

The work is to be carried out between Rings End roundabout at Guyhirn and Redmoor Lane roundabout at Wisbech.

National Highways said they plan to complete the work over two nights from Wednesday 3 to Friday 5 July. 

"We will work between 8pm and 6am, weather conditions permitting," a spokesperson said. 

"To do the work safely, we will need to close the A47 between Rings End roundabout Redmoor Lane roundabout."

National Highways has also shared diversion routes:

  • Traffic wishing to travel eastbound traffic will be diverted from the A47 at Rings End onto the A141 towards Chatteris and A142 towards Ely.
  • Then follow the A10 towards Downham Market and join the A1122 and A1101 Elm High Road towards Wisbech, before re-joining the A47.
  • Westbound traffic will be diverted south from the A47 at Redmoor Lane roundabout onto the A1101 Elm High Road and A1122 towards Downham Market.
  • Then follow the A10 towards Ely and join the A142 to Chatteris then the A141 towards Guyhirn, before re-joining the A47.
