Walcott on Sea Parish Council

Installation of new drains and road closure information

Carriageway Drainage Works – Walcott, B1159 Coast Road
Norfolk County Council will be carrying out essential carriageway drainage maintenance
work on a section of the B1159 Coast Road, Walcott. These works are programmed to
start on Monday 28 September 2026 and take up to 8 weeks to complete, weather
permitting.
To allow the works to be carried out safely, a lane closure will be in place on a section of
Coast Road between Poplar Drive and the entrance to Walcott Park, from 28 September
to 27 October 2026, before the same section of road is temporarily closed to through traffic
from 28 October to 20 November 2026, with a signed diversion route in place. Additionally,
a 360-metre section of footway on the beach side of the seawall will be closed, with
signage directing pedestrians to alternative routes.
Access to and from businesses and properties will be maintained throughout the works;
however, there may be short delays experienced at times due to the nature of the work.
Should you have any specific access requirements during this period, please can you
confirm these with me before Friday 18 September to allow time for our works contractor
to consider how these can best be accommodated, where practicable.
The County Council acknowledges the inconvenience this essential highway maintenance
work will create but would thank people for their patience while this work is carried out.
