Harford Park and Ride bus link A140 Ipswich Road bus Lane resurfacing closures.
Public Information from Norfolk County Council
Ref: PAA017/HP1/PS/001/TC
For immediate release
22 October 2025
Harford Park and Ride bus link A140 Ipswich Road bus Lane resurfacing closures.
Work began in September to carry out highway improvement works at the Harford Park and Ride site and Ipswich Road. The work is scheduled to last for approximately 13 weeks. It will involve the widening the of the Park and Ride exit lane and creating a new exit lane from the site to link onto a new bus lane on A140 Ipswich Road, between the site northbound to approximately 110m south of the traffic signals at Tesco superstore junction. Some narrowing/coning of the northbound lane near the Park and Ride site will be required to safely construct this new bus exit lane.
As part of this work, it is necessary to close A140 Ipswich Road between the A47 southern bypass roundabout to the Harford Tesco traffic signals for 5 nights between 20:00hrs and 06:00hrs from 17 to 21 November 2025 to enable resurfacing and carriageway line marking.
A signed diversion route will be in place in both directions using A146 Barrett Road/Daniels Road/Lakenham Road and A146 Loddon Road (Trowse bypass) and A47.
The County Council thanks people for their patience while this improvement work is carried out.
The work which will cost £700,000 will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Infrastructure Department and their contractors.

Mobile reception – Keswick and Intwood
Help us improve the county’s mobile phone coverage
In an effort to improve the quality of mobile reception NCC has teemed up with Streetwave mobile analysts to locate areas of low reception.
If you have to stand on a chair in your bedroom to send a text message, or you find yourself without enough signal to make a call when you’re out and about, we want to know!
It’s all part of our efforts to map mobile coverage across the region so that we can identify black spots and lobby mobile operators and OFCOM to improve provision.
Since April last year, we’ve been collaborating with mobile analysts Streetwave by using devices in some waste collection vehicles to survey the quality of mobile network coverage from the four main UK providers: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.
This has given us some excellent data, helping to build a good picture of coverage right across the county, but we can make this even more accurate by hearing about your experience with mobile coverage in Norfolk.
So next time you’re at home and get frustrated that your local chippy can’t hear your takeaway order, or your phone cuts out on what should have been a nice conversation with a friend, take some time to complete our anonymous mobile experience form.
You can read more about the project and visit our mobile coverage checker to see which operator offers the best service in your area by clicking here for the project’s webpage.

Hornsea Three – Advance Work Notice – Weston Road – Road Closure – 17th March – 21st March
Advance Work Notice – Weston Road – Road Closure
Upcoming Works
As part of our work to prepare for the installation of the Hornsea 3 onshore cable, we are required to transport equipment and materials to and from our compound in Oulton. Due to the nature of our works, some of these deliveries, known as ‘abnormal loads’, require larger specialised vehicles to transport them. To allow the safe passage of these vehicles, we will need to conduct tree pruning on parts of the route. This is so vehicles don’t come into contact with overhanging trees that have become overgrown.
To facilitate these works, we have permission to temporarily close Weston Road between the following dates:
17 March 2025 – 21 March 2025 at all times
Please note: we may not need to close the road for the full time, or at all, if we are able to complete the works sooner.
If we do need to close the road a temporary diversion route will be in place. The diversion route can be found overleaf. Weston Road will be closed to through traffic, but local access will be maintained up to where the team is working.
If you are concerned about accessing your property during this time, please contact us using the details at the end of this letter.
What to expect
- You might see us working on site during the day. Our working hours are 7:30 to 17:30, Monday to Friday.
- Some low-level noise from onsite machinery during working hours.
What we will do
- Keep all sites safe and secure, while keeping disruption to a minimum.
- Answer your questions via our community phoneline and mailbox.
Please note that all our works are subject to site and weather conditions and all the dates in this notification are subject to change.
Get in touch
We’re committed to keeping you informed about our work. We want to be a good neighbour and try to minimise the impacts of our work on the community. If you’d like to get in touch, please email us at community@hornsea3.co.uk or call us on 0800 158 2354.
