I am writing to update you on our work to carry out road marking renewal work on the A11 southbound from Elveden bypass between London Road, Thetford and Fiveways Roundabout. This is to replace age-expired or damaged markings, studs and high friction surfacing.
We plan to complete this work over four weeks which will nowstart on Thursday 17 September 2026. We will work overnight between 8pm and 6am, weeknights only, weather permitting.
We’ll carry out this work alongside our skid-resistant resurfacing scheme at the A11 Fiveways Roundabout, Barton Mills.
