We’re doing resurfacing work along the A47 between Rings End roundabout at Guyhirn and Redmoor Lane roundabout at Wisbech in Cambridgeshire.

We plan to complete this work over two nights from Wednesday 3 to Friday 5 July 2024. We will work between 8pm and 6am, weather conditions permitting

To do the work safely, we will need to close the A47 between Rings End roundabout Redmoor Lane roundabout, and divert traffic as detailed below:

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.

A large piece of equipment will be taken from Ipswich Port to National Grid’s substation near Bramford, Suffolk. This is essential transformer equipment which will allow the National Grid to provide renewable energy to homes and businesses.

The load weighs over 250 tonnes and is over 76 metres long. Due to its size, the lorry moving it will be escorted by the police, who will need to temporarily hold traffic to allow the convoy to safely progress. The convoy will move very slowly while it is on the road.

Due to the complexity of moving equipment of this size, there will be disruption on the A14 on the following dates, so please plan ahead:

Sunday 30 June
Sunday 7 July
Sunday 14 July

On those dates, the vehicles are expected to leave the Port of Ipswich at around 8am and will make their way to join the A14 at junction 56, before joining the A14 and travelling to junction 55.

The convoy will then use the A14 between junction 55 and 56, before leaving to use local roads. The A14 between junctions 55 and 56 eastbound will be fully closed while the convoy is on the carriageway.

These vehicles are expected to leave the A14 around 12pm, at which point the road will fully reopen. Please note, all timings are subject to change depending on progress.

To ensure there are no hold-ups, there will be some activities carried out ahead of the convoy, which includes the removal of carriageway signage.

To follow the progress of the convoy along the A14, please follow us at HighwaysEAST on X.

Find out more about which local roads will also be affected to move the equipment on the Scottish Power website.
