Bridge funding Budget boost granted to Great Yarmouth

Great Yarmouth’s tourism economy has been given a boost after funding for a third river crossing in the resort was announced in the Autumn Budget. Chancellor Philip Hammond committed £98m towards the cost of the new bridge, with Norfolk County Council having already said it would make up the rest of its £120m price tag. It is hoped the crossing will relieve pressure on the seaside town’s existing Haven and Breydon bridges, especially during the peak summer tourist season. Chairman of the county’s transport committee Martin Wilby welcomed the news, saying it was the answer to the resort’s problems.
