£300m dualling on A47 set for Spring 2020 start

Plans have been unveiled for six projects to upgrade the key A47 road connecting East Anglia with the Midlands have been announced.

Highways England said it is aiming for a Spring 2020 start date after unveiling preferred routes for dualling three parts of the 115 mile stretch of the A47 between Peterborough and Great Yarmouth.

The programme will also include several junctions and roundabouts improvement projects.

Following a public consultation Philip Davie, Highways England Programme Leader for the A47, said: “We have listened to the publics’ views and these have helped shape and inform our approach to our proposed schemes.

“Work now continues, adding detail to the design for each of the dualling and junction improvements, and on planning how we will deliver them in a way that keeps traffic moving.”
