- Traffic should join the A47 westbound and exit at the next junction for the A140 Ipswich Road interchange.
- At the interchange roundabout take the sixth exit to rejoin the A47 eastbound back towards Trowse Newton.
- Continue your journey on the A47 eastbound.
Please note that emergency vehicles will have access through the works but with caution.
