A Norfolk County Council spokesperson said: “A final route cannot be confirmed for the Norwich Western Link, until consultation and planning and funding processes have been completed."
The costs were estimated at 251 MILLION pounds (June 2022)

They say: The Norwich Western Link will…
Boost Norfolk’s economy and support its businesses by reducing transport costs, opening up new markets and increasing productivity through quicker and more reliable journeys.
We say: Journey times and distances will be LONGER for many people, INCREASING transport costs.
e.g. B1150 North Walsham junction of NDR to Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) currently 7.8 Miles....Using Western Link 18.6 miles!
A140 Aylsham/Cromer Road junction with NDR to the NNUH currently 6.4 miles....Using Western Link 15.3 miles!
Lead to a reduction in carbon emissions from vehicles by making many journeys more efficient
which supports local and national carbon reduction targets.
We say: Vehicles travelling at 70MPH + will need to burn more fuel for longer and produce more emissions (NOT LESS).
Improve road safety with 500 fewer accidents involving a motor vehicle over 60 years
We say: WOW! if NCC can really say where accidents will happen, please tell us NOW so they can be prevented before they occur.
Create new habitats and improve existing ones across a wide area to the west of Norwich to support a range of wildlife and provide connectivity through green bridges and wildlife underpasses. !
We say: Just take a look at the Latest News Tab for the REALITY of this nonsense.
