The A48 has been closed following concerns over the safety of a railway crossing, according to the local council. Officials described the crossing as “unsafe,” prompting an immediate closure to protect drivers and pedestrians.
Emergency inspection teams identified critical issues that require urgent repair work before the crossing can safely reopen. In the meantime, authorities have put diversion routes in place to help motorists navigate around the closure with minimal disruption.
Drivers are advised to follow the posted signs and use alternative routes until the crossing is deemed safe for public use. The council is working closely with railway engineers to expedite repairs and restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
