A10 funding bid could see dualling work start in 2024

Dualling the A10 between Cambridge and Ely could be complete by the summer of 2026, a report to the government suggests.

The road, which suffers from “critically low speeds” during the morning rush-hour, is one of a number of schemes put forward for a slice of £700m of government money.

Regional body England’s Economic Heartland (EEH) applied for £264.2m for dualling the A10 from Ely to Cambridge – and a further £37m for junction improvements on the same stretch, on August 13.
