The contractor said it would deliver enhancements to the A47/A11 interchange, increasing resilience on a key stretch of the road network near Norwich.
As part of the project, it will build a new 1.6 kilometre (1 mile) single-lane, free-flow link road, connection the A11 northbound to the A47 eastbound via two new underpasses.
The work also involves building a second 1 kilometre local link road alongside a new road bridge, two new junctions, the widening of an existing link road and installation of a new footbridge.
Enabling works have started, with the scheme scheduled to open for traffic in 2028/29.
