Go to the project

Hi everyone,

We’d like to share an update on upcoming road closures in the area to allow essential water mains replacement works to take place. The project will be delivered in three phases to help manage disruption as much as possible.

Phase 1 – Road Closure

Location: B1116 from Mill Lane (Weybread) to Jubilee Corner

Duration: Monday 2nd February 2026 – Summer 2026

What to expect:

  • This section of the road will be closed to through traffic while the mains are replaced.
  • Jubilee Corner will remain open during the early part of this phase.
  • Clearly signed diversion routes will be in place.

Phase 2 – Road Closure

Location: Stradbroke Road to Fressingfield Water Tower

Duration: Summer 2026 (date to be confirmed) – Winter 2026 (date to be confirmed)

What to expect:

  • Works will take place close to the local school. To minimise disruption for pupils, families, and staff, work on sections nearest the school will be carried out during the summer holiday period wherever possible.

Phase 3 – Road Closure

Location: All roads leading from Jubilee Corner

Duration: Autumn 2026 (date to be confirmed) – Winter 2026 (date to be confirmed)

What to expect:

  • Jubilee Corner will be fully closed while essential water mains replacement works take place.
  • More information on access and diversion routes will be shared closer to the start of this phase.
