The sections of the road to be dualled were the Acle straight, Blofield to [Burlingham](/wiki/Lingwood_and_Burlingham "Lingwood and Burlingham"), North Tuddenham to Easton and the [East Winch](/wiki/East_Winch "East Winch")/Middleton bypass. Other improvements detailed were four schemes at Great Yarmouth, including a £112 million third river crossing, four junction improvements along the Norwich Southern Bypass and improvements to the three junctions at King's Lynn.
