VITAL improvement work aimed at dualling the A11 has been brought forward to 2010 by Transport Secretary Geoff Hoon.
Following discussions with local MPs, councils and the Regional Assembly, Mr Hoon confirmed the work between Fiveways and Thetford is set to be brought forward by 18 months.
"The Government is committed to bringing forward infrastructure investment wherever possible, so I am pleased to confirm that I have asked the Highways Agency to work towards delivering this much-needed scheme at the earliest opportunity.
"Bringing the start forward to the autumn of 2010 would mean road users would benefit from the improvements around 18 months earlier than originally planned.
"It will also provide better value for money, costing around £8 million less than it would to start work in 2012/13."
