A47 closed into the evening after diesel spillage

Resurfacing works on an A-road following a diesel spillage will continue into the evening, National Highways has said.

Norfolk Police said it was called to the A47 Easton roundabout at 22:51 BST on Thursday, following reports of a spillage on the road.

National Highways said the road was shut between the A1074 (Norwich) and B1110 (Honingham) for emergency resurfacing works following the incident.

However, it said the works were being made "complicated" due to rising temperatures affecting the curing process.

A spokesperson for National Highways said specialist contractors were at the road.

The work was expected to be completed by Friday afternoon, however, National Highways has now said it was aiming for the road to be reopened by Friday evening.

The time of this is currently not known.

It added police were looking into the cause of the spillage, which it said was not known.

Drivers were advised to take alternative routes and allow extra time for their journey.
