Drivers face weeks of summer road closures for work on new £8.4m roundabout
The new scheme at Hethel aims to improve access to businesses and organisations based off the B1135, such as Hethel Engineering Centre and car manufacturer Lotus.
It will see a new three-arm roundabout built on the Wymondham Road, with the north arm providing spine road access through the site.
That road would then join Potash Lane northeast of the Hethel Engineering Centre site, with spurs of the spine road designed to provide access to land earmarked for new businesses.

Construction started in March, but the work has had no impact on motorists yet.
However, from next month that will change, initially with traffic lights and an overnight road closure, but then with a longer closure of the B1135 Wymondham Road.
What will be the impact on drivers?
Work to make changes to drains and kerbs in Potash Lane starts on June 26 and continues until July 13.
Temporary two way traffic lights will be in place during the daytime to allow safe working room for the construction........
