Norwich Western Link
The development of a Norwich Western Link, to connect the Broadland Northway, formerly known as the Northern Distributor Road (NDR), from the A1067 to the A47 west of Norwich, is one of our top infrastructure priorities. Since construction began on Broadland Northway there have been sustained calls to fill in the 'missing link'.
A report that provides an update on the project and makes recommendations regarding its next steps is due to be considered at a meeting of Norfolk County Council's Cabinet on Monday 7 July. These webpages will be updated to reflect the outcome of this meeting and the current position of the project in the summer.
