Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to upgrade the A12 between Ipswich and Lowestoft.

Suffolk County Council is developing a Full Business Case for a scheme to improve junctions between the A12 / A14 Seven Hills and the A12 Woods Lane and provide dualling between the B1438 and the B1079. The Council plans to submit this to the Department in summer 2025. This will be considered in the light of the current Spending Review and the Department’s review of capital projects.

It is for the Council to identify any further improvement proposals on the A12 and to bid for Government funding as and when future funding opportunities arise
