A12 at Lowestoft

Ongoing work is taking place at Station Road/Gunton St/Peters Avenue. There will be off-peak three-way lights upgrading the existing footpath works. The northbound bus stop opposite the works has temporarily been suspended, whilst the southbound bus stop has been relocated.

As part of renumbering work along the A47/A12 corridor, signs that currently show the A12 will now show the A47.

The work will last about 12 weeks to complete. The section of the A12 that currently runs from Lowestoft to Great Yarmouth will become the A47.
