Coltishall Road Closure Expected to Reopen After Oil Spill
What happened
The B1150 through Coltishall has been closed since November 28 because a lorry spilled cooking oil, contaminating 100 metres of the carriageway. The road closure, which caused traffic disruption, is now expected to reopen later today, November 6, after final checks by Norfolk County Council's contractor.

Why it matters
The closure has intensified local calls for a relief road, as local politicians and groups argue the current road system in Norfolk cannot handle existing and projected traffic levels. This issue is compounded by the expected increase in traffic from approximately 2,500 new homes in North Walsham.
