The government has committed more than £26m of funding towards the building of a new bypass, meaning traffic will no longer have to go through the centre of Long Stratton.
Transport bosses at Norfolk County Council have previously said the new road will cut congestion and support the local economy, with the Department of Transport's funding consisting of more than half of the road's overall £37.44m cost.
