Heckington Bypass, Turnoff for the Village
This 2½ mile section of the A17 forms the Heckington Bypass. It has short dual carriageway sections at each end. The bypass was opened in December 1982; it follows the former route of the B1394.
The A17

The A17 is the major route for HGV's accessing Norfolk from Northern England and the Midlands and also a major holiday route in the summer months for cars and caravans making their way to the seaside resorts of Hunstanton, Wells-next-the-Sea, Sheringham, Cromer and Great Yarmouth and is one of only two direct routes that links Norfolk with the A1, the other being the A47. It runs for almost 60 miles from Winthorpe, near Newark-on-Trent to King's Lynn across the flat landscape of the Lincolnshire fens with only four stretches of dual carriageway.
