New A47 opens near Blofield and Burlingham

A new stretch of dual carriageway on the A47 in Norfolk has opened to traffic this morning. 

The 2.6-mile section between Blofield and North Burlingham replaces the previous single carriageway east of Norwich.

The project cost around £100 million and construction began in October 2024.

Around 30,000 vehicles use the route each day. It's one of three major upgrade schemes currently underway on the A47.
