50mph speed limit in place on A47 in Peterborough and laybys closed for resurfacing works
A temporary speed limit of 50mph is on place on a section of the A47 in Peterborough as a major programme of works is carried out.
Works have begun this week on the A47 from the Sutton roundabout to junction 16 at the Bretton Gate interchange.
These will see a speed limit of 50mph imposed for 24 hours a day as well as the closure of all of the lay-bys on the eastbound carriageway.
The works are expected to take place over approximately 14 weeks with work being carried out between Monday and Friday, 8pm-6am.
National Highways have said that the works are to enable resurfacing, the renewal of road markings and studs, replacement road signs, traffic detector loops, bridge joints and kerbing works.
The order for the works came into place on Tuesday (April 7).
