Maintenance work is set to cause delays through a Norfolk town for four weeks.

Work is due to start on Monday, March 20 to carry out essential pavement reconstruction works on the north side of Yaxham Road in Dereham from Greens Road to Station Road.

The works will see the old worn-out surface removed and replaced with a new asphalt surface. Several lengths of kerb and concrete edgings will also be replaced.

Four-way traffic lights will be in operation on Yaxham Road at the junction with Greens Road. They will be manually controlled to help traffic flow.

A lane from the junction with Tavern Lane to the mini-roundabout at the junction with Station Road will be closed. This means that vehicles will not be able to travel from the town centre towards the A47.

There will also be a one-way restriction on Baxter Row.

Parking will be suspended on the eastern side of Baxter Row and Southend for the duration of the works.

The work which will cost £105,000 will be carried out by Norfolk County Council.
