A12 between junctions 27 and 33 – LED street lighting surveys

I’m writing to tell you that as part of our effort to reduce carbon emissions from roadside lighting, we’ll be carrying out surveys to help us upgrade the street lighting to LED on the A12 between junctions 27 and 33.

LED lights are better for the environment and use far less energy to produce the same amount of light. They also last longer and require less maintenance, meaning fewer road closures to fix lighting in the future and more importantly, safer roads for everyone.

We plan to carry out these surveys over two weeks between Monday 4 November and Tuesday 19 November, week nights only. We will work overnight between 9pm and 5am, weather permitting.

Closures and diversions

To carry out the work safely, we will need to close the A12 entry and exit slip roads between junctions 27 and 33 and divert traffic.
