Norwich – A47 scheme gets green light, RHA welcomes

James Barwise, RHA Policy lead, said:


“We’re delighted with today’s announcement that ministers have approved the A47/A11 Thickthorn Junction scheme outside Norwich.

“This scheme is the first step in unlocking wider economic potential along the A47 corridor by reducing journey times, facilitating new developments, and improving connectivity for businesses and communities.

“Congestion costs £30.8bn a year which stifles growth, so we’re campaigning for significant roads investment to tackle delays and boost the economy.”
