Work set to begin on resurfacing Downham Road in Fincham ahead of four nights’ closure

Work will begin this week to resurface a village road.

Resurfacing of a section of the A1122 Downham Road in Fincham will take place, starting from Wednesday, June 12.

To allow the work to be carried out safely and swiftly it will be necessary to close the road to through traffic on a number of dates when the surfacing is under way, line painting is being carried out, and cat’s eyes (road studs) are being renewed.

Access to properties will be maintained at all times.
