The A11 Missing Link Goes Ahead

Or that’s what it looks like after the government’s cost cutting according to this report on the BBC.

I know you could have argued that in our current state all road projects should go, but this is one that will pay for itself in lives saved because of the dangerous Elveden village.

The upgrading of the A14 through Cambridge has been scrapped, but if the Felixstowe to Peterborough rail freight mprovements kick in as they should, then the congestion caused by heavy lorries may decrease.  Remember too, that a lot of the cars on this section of the A14 are commuters working in the high-tech businesses in the Cambridge area and these are just the commuters that might use alternative technological alternatives.

So if it was the A14 or the A11, then the A11 is the more iportant.  It’s just a pity though, that there appear to be no plans in place to improve the links between Great Yarmouth and the rest of the country.  The A11 Missing Link will be a great help, but work on the Acle Straight would very much be welcomed.
