King’s Lynn’s Chase Avenue and Feltwell’s Bell Street to be shut to vehicles as pavements are resurfaced




Works to improve two pavements in the area are set to start from next week, which will see the roads temporarily closed to vehicles.

The pavement along a section of Lynn’s Chase Avenue is set to be replaced, with work set to start on or soon after Monday.

This will involve the removal of the existing surface which will be replaced with a new asphalt surface.

The works, which are expected to take up to three weeks to complete, will also see damaged kerbs and edgings replaced as needed.

Highways officials say that, to ensure the works are carried out safely, Chase Avenue will be temporarily closed to vehicles and a fully signed official diversion route will be in place.

To reduce the impact to residents as much as possible, the works will be completed along Chase Avenue in phases.

A Norfolk County Council spokesperson said: “There may be some short delays to vehicle access to properties while work takes place in front of driveways.

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

“The work which will cost £38,000 will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Community and Environmental Services Department and their contractors.”

From Monday, work is also set to start to resurface the northern pavement along Bell Street in Feltwell.

The work, which will see the old, damaged surface, damaged kerbs removed, and a brand-new asphalt surface laid and installation of new kerbs and edgings at driveways, is expected to take four weeks to complete, weather permitting.

It will be carried out between Monday, May 8 and Saturday, June 3.

In order to safely complete the improvements, Bell Street will be closed to through traffic until work is complete, but vehicle access to properties and churches will be maintained, although there may be some short delays at times as work takes place in front of driveways.

A fully signed diversion route will be in place whilst the road is closed.

The county council spokesperson added: “The county council would like to thank people for their patience while these pavement improvement works are carried out.

“The work which will cost approximately £20,000 will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Community and Environmental Services Department and their contractors.”
