The Project
The A11 Roudham Heath to Attleborough Improvements scheme opened on the 19th March 2003.
The road is a part of the core National Route linking London, Cambridge and the northern part of East Anglia. This section is one of the remaining single carriageway sections on this strategic route. The improvements included adding a second carriageway, building a new dual carriageway and various other improvements.
This scheme, together with two other improvement schemes, complete the dualling of the A11 between the M11 and Norwich Southern Bypass (A47). The A11 Attleborough Bypass improvement was opened to traffic in February 2007. The A11 Fiveways to Thetford improvement scheme is for future delivery.
The principle objectives of the scheme were to:
- Reduce the accident rate on the road, which is currently at twice the national average;
- Improve the substandard horizontal and vertical alignments; and
- Improve the unreliable journey times that currently exist due to the regular platooning of vehicles behind slow moving vehicles.
POPE - Five Year After study
As part of our ongoing programme of Post Opening Project Evaluation (POPE) this scheme has been reviewed at one and five years after opening. The studies compare the outturn effects of this scheme to the predicted impacts. A summary of the five year after report is available to download here: A11 Roudham Heath - Attleborough FYA summary (PDF 48 KB). If you require a full version of this report or the one year after study, please contact us.
