A140 Long Stratton bypass works commence with road closures ordered

Road closures have been announced as part of a major project to build a bypass in Long Stratton.

Church Lane, Edge’s Lane, Hall Lane and Parkers Lane will be closed for the duration of the works, which start from April 22, and are expected to continue until the autumn of 2025.

On completion, Hall Lane will bridge over the bypass and Church Lane will be realigned and connected to a new roundabout at the northern end of the route. Parkers Lane will be realigned to form a link from the existing A140 to a roundabout toward the southern end of the bypass.

The new road also crosses several local footpaths. All of these will also need to be closed but at least two will be available throughout the works.

Signed diversions will be in place, and access will be maintained for residents and businesses located in the area.
