Thanks for the update. I assume it was opened as the A1154? That being correct, I've had an initial go at editing the existing article which talked about the potential route.

Just been watching the opening on BBC Look East. I didn’t realise it was such a fancy project.

Yes it is the A1154. The whole route links the A47 to the A1243 and is about 580m long
