Boundary Road
Start: January 2023
Completed: April 2023
In September 2021 Norfolk County Council and the Transport for Norwich (TfN) partnership asked for feedback on proposed changes on Boundary Road. The aim of the scheme was to provide better connections across the busy outer ring road, making it safer and easier for travelling on foot or by bike.
This project is part of a programme of infrastructure changes in the Greater Norwich area, which was agreed by the county council's Cabinet in 2020 and is funded by the Department for Transport's (DfT) Transforming Cities Fund.
Consultation
We originally consulted on two options to improve crossing facilities. One option was to upgrade the existing junction at the B&Q car park, whilst retaining the existing pedestrian crossing on Boundary Road near the junction with Vera Road. The other option was to install a new cycle crossing connecting Vera Road to Rye Avenue, which would also retain the existing pedestrian crossing on Boundary Road near the Vera road junction.
Further details on both options are available from the letter and plans in the download box.
An amended version of the B&Q option was subsequently put forward for construction after all feedback went before members of the Transport for Norwich Joint Committee at their meeting on 18 November 2021.
The committee is chaired by Norfolk County Council and made up of councillors from TfN partners Norwich City, Broadland District and South Norfolk councils.
