New Road in Acle is open several weeks earlier than planned after it was closed for a month.

The road had been blocked off due to sewage works but access to the BP garage and the village of Acle is now possible from the roundabout at the end of the Acle Straight.

It was originally scheduled for the road which was closed off on November 14, to be reopened on January 6.

However it today reopened at 2.20pm.
