A major route in Norwich will close for roadworks costing £30,000 later this month. The A146 Lakenham Road will be blocked between 1pm and 6pm on August 18 while a road rejuvenator is sprayed on to the road surface and soaks into the top layer. It is an early intervention treatment which should make the road last years longer.
