Gillingham Stockton Roundabout to Close for Essential Resurfacing

In a bid to enhance road safety and improve driving conditions, authorities have announced the temporary closure of the Gillingham Stockton roundabout for resurfacing work. This essential maintenance initiative is scheduled to commence on june 24, weather permitting.The Gillingham Stockton roundabout, near Beccles, will be closed to traffic between 7pm and 6am for three nights from June 24 while the old worn road surface is removed and replaced with a new asphalt covering. The A143 will be blocked at its junction with the roundabout and a signed diversion route will be in place.

The decision to resurface the roundabout comes as part of ongoing efforts to maintain local infrastructure and ensure smooth and safe travel for motorists. The resurfacing work will involve the application of fresh layers of durable materials, aimed at addressing existing wear and tear caused by regular use and seasonal changes.

During the closure period, alternative routes will be signposted to minimize disruption and inconvenience for commuters. Local residents and businesses are encouraged to plan their journeys accordingly and allow for extra travel time where necessary.

Authorities have also assured that every effort will be made to complete the resurfacing work efficiently and with minimal impact on surrounding areas. Regular updates and information will be provided to keep the community informed about the progress of the project.

Motorists and pedestrians are advised to exercise caution and adhere to temporary traffic management measures implemented during the closure. This includes following diversion routes and observing speed limits to ensure the safety of all road users and construction workers.

The resurfacing of the Gillingham Stockton roundabout underscores a proactive approach towards maintaining essential infrastructure, reflecting a commitment to enhancing road quality and ensuring a safer driving environment for all.
