Drivers are being advised of a 64-mile diversion on a dual carriageway because of roadworks.

The A11 in Norfolk, between Attleborough and the London Road roundabout at Thetford, is being shut each night 20:00-06:00 BST between Tuesday and this Saturday.

National Highways said road markings and studs were being replaced.

The government-owned company said the recommended diversion was agreed with Norfolk County Council.

Northbound traffic was being diverted via the Cringleford Interchange at Norwich, the A47 Fakenham Road interchange, the A1065 near Swaffham, and the A134, eventually joining the A11 southbound Thetford bypass - a National Highways spokesperson said.

The roadworks mark the beginning of phase four of the National Highways work on the major road.

Matt Garman taking over as CEO with AWS at crossroads
It’s tough to say that a $100 billion business finds itself at a critical juncture, but that's the case with Amazon Web Services, the cloud arm of Amazon, and the clear market leader in the cloud infrastructure market. On Tuesday, the company announced that CEO Adam Selipsky was stepping down to spend more time with his family and recharge a bit, according to his statement. During Selipsky’s tenure, growth for the cloud division has slowed pretty dramatically falling from 33% in Q2 2022 to 12% in Q2 and Q3 2023 before ticking up to 13% and 17% in its two most recent reports -- although to be fair, growth has slowed across the industry, as the space has settled into a more mature state.
