Earlier in 2017 Norfolk County Council undertook a consultation to seek views on congestion issues in Great Yarmouth and to share the emerging preliminary proposals for a Third River Crossing in the town.
The consultation responses showed an overall support for the scheme, with the majority of respondents saying that:
· Congestion in Great Yarmouth is either a serious or a very serious issue,
· The Third River Crossing would make their journey times shorter,
· Congestion would be greatly reduced by the new crossing.
Since this initial consultation the scheme has been developed further, including examining possible types of bridge and its height. Beginning on 4 September Norfolk County Council will be seeking views on the work undertaken to date so that they can understand the important issues to consider as the scheme is developed further.
They will be consulting on the current scheme proposals for the Great Yarmouth Third River Crossing, which will allow them to understand the important issues to consider as the scheme is developed further.
Further detailed scheme details will be published along with an online questionnaire between 4 September and 6 October 2017 and consultation events will be held locally.
