Essential resurfacing work in Hunstanton due to start in mid-February on Le Strange Terrace and Southend Road

Essential resurfacing work is due to start in Hunstanton later this month - with residents warned of potential “unavoidable delays”.

The work, which is expected to take three days to complete, will start on Monday, February 17 on Southend Road and Le Strange Terrace.

It will involve replacing the existing, worn-out road surface, and reinstating the road markings.

To ensure the safety of operatives and road users, the roads will be temporarily closed to through-traffic and there will be restrictions to on-street parking during the work.

The temporary road closure along Southend Road will be in place for one day from Monday, February 17, between its junctions with Le Strange Terrace and Westgate to the junction with Crescent Lane.

The temporary road closure along Le Strange Terrace will be in place for two days from Tuesday, February 18, and will run between its junctions with Beach Terrace Road, Southend Road and Westgate, and include a suspension of parking along the length of the closure.

Access to addresses within these locations will be maintained throughout and managed by the operatives on site, although there may be unavoidable delays during this time.

Signed diversion routes will be in place to direct vehicular traffic around the temporary road closures.

“On completion, the new road surface will give a more comfortable ride quality, reinstate the worn-out road markings and reduce maintenance costs and inconvenience to highway users,” said a spokesperson from Norfolk County Council - which is carrying out the works.

“The county council thanks people for their patience while this essential carriageway improvement work is carried out.”

The combined work, which is expected to cost £125,000, will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Infrastructure Department and their contractors.
