A new £8.4 million road scheme at Hethel has opened, unlocking land for business development and supporting future jobs locally.
Road improvements designed to attract new businesses and investment to Hethel, near Wymondham, have opened.
The £8.4 million project includes a new roundabout on the B1135 and a link road connecting it with Potash Lane.
The new infrastructure will provide improved access to around 20 hectares of land identified for future employment development close to the existing Hethel Innovation Centre.
Council leaders say the scheme could eventually help create around 1,000 additional high-value jobs and unlock significant private investment in the area.
The project has been funded by the Greater Norwich Growth Board Infrastructure Investment Fund, Norfolk County Council and South Norfolk Council.
As well as improving road access, the development includes new facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.
The scheme is intended to support the continued growth of Hethel as an important centre for engineering, technology and advanced manufacturing.
While the new roundabout and link road are now coming into use, some final work will continue during the autumn.
This includes landscaping, tree planting and other finishing works around the site.
Council leaders say the investment should make the area more attractive to new employers while improving access for businesses already based at Hethel.
