Completely forgot about the construction of the Long Stratton bypass when planning today's ride.

I did try both of the alternative routes to the village but with the same result. As the other option was to do 2 miles southbound on the A140 Norwich-Ipswich road into a headwind, I gave up on the planned route and just made it up from here on.

Not my bike being obstructed by a height restriction..

Road closed due to new bypass being built. But they have diverted cyclists down a tarmac and gravel bridleway to get past. When bypass finished there will be a cycle tunnel connecting the lanes either side.

Maybe encouraging they are considering cyclists.

Two weeks ago I cycled up yo a complete "Road Closed" where there was plenty of room for them to have put in a cycle wide path through (2 way road taking regular HGVs and they were working only on one pavement one side but diversion more than 5 miles(3 on a nightmare road for cycling).

Another a few days ago where road completely clised, dug up and abandoned. So I just moved a few cones a bit and cycled through (plenty of space going nowhere near anything dug up).

They just don't think of cyclists ot the impact of long diversion on anything without a motor.

Somewhere between Caen and Lisieux. I decided to take a chance on getting through as I wasn't familiar with any possible diversion.
As it happened, road was blocked by a digger and a tipper lorry, clearing roadside drainage. In the UK this would have of course meant a hi-viz clad H&S obsessed worker telling me to about turn and find my own alternative, along a busy dual carriageway for 10 miles or so.
In France? They stop work for 10 seconds and happily wave you through. Common sense still exists outside of UK..

Here too; most workers assume you know what you are doing and might point out any obstructions.
One only needs to live outside the country for a few years to realise how bloody minded some Britons are.
