===South Transport Project=== [[File:Lynn routes.png|thumb|350px|right|The developments taking place as part of the King's Lynn South Transport Project]] A £7 million programme to redevelop the infrastructure of the town centre in the 2010s was largely provided by the [[Community Infrastructure Fund]]. The department programme is a collection of smaller developments, which are detailed below.<ref name="LynnCIF">[http://www.norfolk.gov.uk/consumption/groups/public/documents/article/ncc063857.pdf] {{Dead link|date=February 2020|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> Work on a cycle and bus route between the town centre and South Lynn began in June 2010, at a cost of £850,000. It is 720 metres long, from Morston Drift to Millfleet, with buses in both directions, and features a separate path for pedestrians and bicycles, which coincides with the bus route when crossing the Nar sluice. As part of the development, the Millfleet–St James' Road junction is being developed.<ref name=LynnCIF/> A contraflow lane for bicycles was proposed, but not built along Norfolk Street from Albert Street to Blackfriars Road. This would have included a development of the Norfolk Road/Railway Road junction to better accommodate buses and bicycles. Similar work was to have taken place at the Norfolk Street–Littleport Street junction, so that buses would not get caught in the town-centre gyratory system.<ref name="LynnCIF"/> [[Bus priority]] measures have been added to four sets of traffic lights along St James' Road. These give buses quicker access to the town centre and normalise journey times.<ref name="LynnCIF"/> Southgates roundabout has been redeveloped. Many of its approach roads have been widened in the run-up to the junction and the road markings redone{{clarify|date=May 2019}} in an attempt to improve lane discipline. It is a noted congestion hot spot.<ref name="LynnCIF"/> Other small developments are taking place to make junctions more car-friendly.<ref name="LynnCIF"/>
