Major £65m road upgrade on A11 in Norfolk completed at Wymondham

National Highways’ highly-anticipated concrete reconstruction scheme on the A11 in Norfolk at Wymondham has been successfully completed.

Decades of use and hundreds of millions of journeys had left the stretch of the major route between Spooner Row and Tuttles Interchange in a deteriorating condition.

The scheme saw the removal of the old concrete road surface and some of its foundations, before rebuilding with recycled material and a new asphalt top.

The project has been delivered as a part of National Highways nationwide drive to revitalise concrete roads across the country.

According to National Highways, 45,000 drivers use the stretch of road daily.

After visiting the scheme, Minister for Roads, Richard Holden said: “The £65m upgrade to the A11 at Wymondham will improve connections and grow the economy in this region, whilst providing smoother, quieter and safer journeys for all road users.

“This is just one of many projects National Highways will be completing across the country to keep our roads up to their world-leading standard.”
