Map Based Road Projects Finder - Feedback
We are currently piloting a new map based tool to help you find road projects. Please let us know what you think
The Project Control Framework
This framework sets out how we, together with the Department for Transport, manage and deliver major road improvement projects.
Rejected options
Three other alignment variations have been considered and have already been rejected.
An option which followed the line of the existing road through Mildenhall Woods was considered but rejected because a dual carriageway on this alignment would require an 8 metre deep cutting over the crest of the hill.
A longer bypass of Elveden that extended further to the west was considered but rejected as it required more agricultural land, severed more agricultural fields and provided no significant benefits over the proposed option.
A shorter bypass of Elveden, which rejoined the existing A11 at the Redneck Farm entrance, was considered but rejected as it moved trunk road traffic nearer to residential property than does the proposed option.
