Emergency Road Closures Cause Diversions in Sheffield, Kent, Colchester

Several significant road closures are impacting local traffic across the UK. In Sheffield, an emergency road closure on Church Street is causing diversions for bus services, with the police investigating the reasons behind the closure. In Fordwich, near Canterbury, a 12-week closure of High Street is necessary for the refurbishment of a timber frame building, with a revised plan aimed at minimizing disruption. Kent County Council has implemented a narrower temporary footway on King Street to accommodate the changes, and a comprehensive diversion route has been established. In Colchester, ongoing roadworks on Northern Approach are nearing completion after delays due to sewage pipe discoveries, with final stages expected to finish soon. Additionally, overnight closures along the A137 Ipswich Road are scheduled for maintenance, requiring a lengthy diversion for drivers.
