en.Wedoany.com Reported - Costain has secured a contract from Norfolk County Council to design and build a new 2.4-kilometer road for the West Winch Housing Access Road project. The new road will connect the A47 with the existing A10, providing access to up to 4,000 new homes planned within the new Growth Area south of King's Lynn. Upon completion, the new road will be integrated into the A10.

In addition to road design and construction, Costain is responsible for delivering a new roundabout leading to the new residential area, a cycle path along the new road, and dualling approximately 1.5 kilometers of the A47 trunk road. The total contract value is £122 million.

Detailed design will commence this year, with construction expected to start in 2027. Andy Denman, Director of Costain's Roads Division, stated that the contract award is based on the company's long-standing expertise in highway delivery and a proven track record of providing first-class, value-for-money services to local governments across the UK. The West Winch Housing Access Road project will significantly improve residents' lives and support the local economy.

Grahame Bygrave, Infrastructure Director at Norfolk County Council, said the project team will work closely with Costain to continue advancing the project and move into the construction phase as soon as possible.
