Roadways situated near a city’s riverside have now been reopened subsequent to police intervention regarding an unexploded device discovered in the water on Sunday.

This disruption occurred ahead of a Norwich City home football match against Burnley, scheduled at the nearby Carrow Road stadium. Police authorities confirmed that an Explosive Ordnance Disposal team was deployed and that the situation had been safely resolved. Traffic was redirected via Rosary Road throughout the duration of the incident. On the X platform, Lollards Pit, a local pub located on Riverside Road, advised its patrons about the police cordon and offered apologies for the inconvenience.
