Drivers on Riverside Road are seeing delays today as they approach the stadium.

Today, about 27,000 football fans are anticipated to attend Norwich City’s home game against Birmingham at 3 p.m.

The closure is expected to persist until early next week. “Anglian Water are in attendance and will be working to reopen the road as quickly as possible.”
