Birchanger Lane is to close for up to five days to allow BT to install infrastructure for new developments. The lane will be closed from the A120 junction for a distance of 1000m from February 7th.
 
UPDATE. It seems that the information provided to us was wrong, and that it's not BT but a company called Express Pipe Laying that are undertaking the work, which is to provide gas to the development on the Churton site.
