Costain has won a contract from Norfolk County Council for the detailed design and build the West Winch Housing Access Road scheme near King’s Lynn, Norfolk. The new 2.5km West Winch Housing Access Road will connect the A47 with the existing A10 to serve up to four thousand new homes planned for the new Growth Area south of King’s Lynn. Once opened, the new road will become part of the A10.
In addition to designing and building the new road, Costain will also include the creation of new roundabouts that will provide access to the new housing areas, a cycle path alongside the new road as well as dualling just under one mile of the A47 trunk road. The contract with Costain forms a significant part of the overall £122 million project. Detailed design will commence this year, with construction anticipated to start in 2027.
