Construction of the stretch of road south of the Harfreys estate roundabout did not begin until mid 1991, some years after the northern section. As with all the route it followed the line of the old Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway and this section required new bridges over Burgh Road and Beccles Road. The rail bridges over both of these roads had been removed during the 1970s. Before construction began it was necessary to perform compulsory purchases on several properties close to the course of the route, particularly around the Beccles Road junction.
