Timeline and documents
We have now awarded the contract to design and build the Norwich Western Link to Ferrovial Construction and have also submitted the Outline Business Case for the project to the Department for Transport.
We are working to make documents on this page available in an accessible format as soon as possible. In the meantime, please email norwichwesternlink@norfolk.gov.uk to request an accessible version.
We’re currently reviewing the project timetable and will update this section when this is complete.
