The A1101 is a local road and is the responsibility for the local highway authority, Norfolk County Council. The Department for Transport is aware that this road is subject to flooding after heavy rainfall which results in closures and diversions to local residents. In order to solve the flooding problem there are a number of options including raising the highway or constructing a bridge. No estimate has been made by the Department for Transport of the costs to build a new causeway on the A1101 at Welney as this is a matter for Norfolk County Council working closely with Welney Parish Council and others, including the Environment Agency. The Department for Transport does not hold information in regards to how many days the road at Welney has been closed nor the estimated cost to the local economy due to any closure in (a) this year or (b) in each of the last 30 years.
