Ferrovial Construction<\/a> has secured a contract from Norfolk County Council<\/a> to design and build the Norwich Western Link<\/h2>\n

Work will begin immediately to develop the Norwich Western Link, which includes the new 3.8-mile dual carriageway road between the A47 and Broadland Northway and many of its associated measures.<\/p>\n

This work will feed into the pre-planning public consultation which is scheduled for the autumn, this will inform the planning application<\/a> for the project, due to be submitted in early 2022.<\/p>\n

\u2018Delivering world-class infrastructure\u2019<\/h3>\n

Councillor Martin Wilby, Norfolk County Council\u2019s cabinet member for highways, transport and infrastructure, said: \u201cFerrovial Construction have a great track record in designing and building large-scale infrastructure projects<\/a> and will bring specialist expertise to the project, including in relation to the design of the viaduct across the River Wensum.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreating the Norwich Western Link is a priority for this council and it\u2019s vital to ensuring we have the right infrastructure in place to not only tackle existing congestion and delays but to accommodate future population and job growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to working with Ferrovial Construction to deliver such an important project for Norfolk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karl Goose, UK managing director of Ferrovial Construction, added: \u201cWe are delighted to have been selected to deliver the Norwich Western Link.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be bringing our expertise and experience at delivering highways projects in the UK, Ireland and around the world to provide Norfolk County Council and the region with a world-class piece of infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be delivering this project with local teams, opening new opportunities for people in Norfolk and a gateway to careers in the industry and sustainable career development paths.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferrovial Construction was the highest-scoring bidder from a competitive procurement process<\/a> for the project which began in summer 2020 and during which they began developing their proposals for the project.<\/p>\n

At the same meeting cabinet members also agreed to approve the outline business case for the Norwich Western Link, and this has now been submitted to the Department for Transport.<\/p>\n

The business case demonstrated that the project would provide high value for money, significantly reduce many journey times to the west of Norwich, improve road safety and reduce carbon emissions from vehicles.<\/p>\n

If the outline business case is approved, this would provide a funding commitment from Government which is expected to cover 85% of the \u00a3198m total project costs.<\/p>\n
