Drone footage shows extent of new £100m A-road
Drone footage shows the extent of a new stretch of dual carriageway that is about to open to traffic in Norfolk.
The 2.6 mile (4.2km) section of the A47 has replaced the existing single-lane section between Blofield and North Burlingham, east of Norwich.
The government approved the project, which cost about £100m, in 2022, and National Highways started work on the scheme in October 2024.
An estimated 30,000 vehicles use the stretch daily.
It is one of three major upgrade projects taking place on the A47, including works at Tuddenham, expected to finish in 2027, and improvements to the Thickthorn roundabout due for completion in 2028.
The road is due to open to drivers at 06:00 GMT on Wednesday.
