Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government which sections of the A12 between Ipswich and Lowestoft are single carriageway; and what commitment they have made to finance the upgrading of each such section to dual carriageway.

Most of this stretch of the A12 is single carriageway apart from dual carriageway sections at Wickham Market, Saxmundham, Wangford and Kessingland. The Government is considering an Outline Business Case from Suffolk County Council for a number of improvements to the A12 which includes dualling between the B1438 and the B1079. It would be for the Council to identify any further improvement proposals and to bid for Government funding as and when future funding opportunities arise.
