Trowse road on Norwich ‘cut-through’ route closes

White Horse Lane, in Trowse, was shut to traffic earlier this month and will not reopen until April 14. 

The road is a popular cut-through for motorists driving in and out of the city from the Stoke Road and for larger vehicles avoiding the low bridge at the bottom of Long John Hill.

The road has been closed while UK Power Networks, which has a plant on White Horse Lane, carries out work on underground cables. 

Emergency access will be maintained during the closure but other traffic has been diverted via Martineau Lane, towards Long John Hill, onto Stoke Road.

A few days after the road is due to reopen, further restrictions will be in place through Trowse.

Resurfacing works in Whitlingham Lane at the junction with the Street starts on April 22 and is due to take three days to complete.

A three-way traffic lights system will be in place. 

The Norfolk County Council work will cost over £34,000.
