Norfolk county councillors have agreed a preferred route for a new link road that would ease congestion west of Norwich.The Norwich Western Link is one of Norfolk County Council’s key infrastructure priorities. It is expected to significantly improve travel between the A47 and Broadland Northway west of Norwich. The hope is to start construction before the end of 2022.The preferred route, now agreed upon, is a 3.9 mile dual carriageway that would link from the roundabout at the western end of Broadland Northway, cross the River Wensum on a viaduct and join the A47 via an improved junction at Wood Lane, which forms part of Highways England’s plan to dual the A47 between North Tuddenham and Easton.The preferred route was selected following a public consultation process in summer 2018.
