Norwich Northern Distributor Road

Scheme Outline
Construction of a new dual two-lane road across the northern fringe of Norwich, from the A47 in the east to the A1067 in the west. Together with the A47 southern bypass, it will provide an almost-complete ring road for the city, though the gap in the west is unlikely to be filled as a proposal for a road there were dropped in favour of this route due to environmental concerns.
The project was hit with scandal at an early stage as Norfolk County Council appointed its roads maintenance firm to build the road. Complaints from the public led to an intervention from the Department for Transport, who declared the appointment unfair and demanded that the Council invite tenders for the contract in the normal way.
