A47 Road Closures
The A47 is a key road in eastern England, running from Birmingham in the West Midlands to Lowestoft on the Suffolk coast.
Passing near towns and cities such as Nuneaton, Leicester, Peterborough, and Norwich, it plays an important role in connecting the Midlands to East Anglia, supporting both local travel and long-distance freight.
The A47 frequently undergoes essential maintenance, improvement works, and safety upgrades, many of which require temporary closures and diversions.

A47 Travel Advice
If you’re planning a journey along the A47, these tips can help reduce delays and keep things running smoothly during roadworks or disruptions:
- Stay updated before and during your journey using live traffic apps like Google Maps or Waze.
- Build in extra travel time, particularly on busier or single carriageway sections where hold-ups are more common.
- Use signed diversion routes rather than shortcuts, as these are set up to keep traffic flowing safely.
- Think ahead with fuel, especially when travelling through more rural parts of the route.
- Drive carefully through roadworks, where speed limits are lower and layouts may be temporarily changed.
