Work on major regeneration of the area around a town's ancient gateway could begin in three years' time if extra funding can be found.
A new report to West Norfolk councillors sets out a timetable for the planned revamp of the area around the South Gate in King's Lynn.
The scheme includes diverting London Road around the 15th century monument and the Southgates roundabout being replaced by a series of junctions, while more than 100 new homes could also be built as part of the proposals.
The government has pledged £24m in levelling up funding, although a report earlier this year said extra funding would be needed to complete the work.
The report to the council's regeneration and development panel, which meets on Tuesday, September 12, admits that there are "viability challenges and need for public sector funding".
While no figures have so far been released, grants may be available from sources including the government's Shared Prosperity and Brownfield Land Release Funds, Homes England and the Community Infrastructure Levy.
The report says the final masterplan for the area will go before the full council when it meets on October 19.
It says the scheme is about "regeneration and enhancing sustainable transport modes" rather than reducing congestion.
It adds that it will "encourage sustainable transport and make it easier for people to choose walking and cycling".
The scheme also includes new bus lanes on London Road and Hardwick Road.
The report says a planning application is expected to be submitted by the council between March and September next year.
Work could begin in July 2026 and be completed within a year.
Plans also include pedestrianising the area around the 600-year-old South Gate, to exploit its potential as a heritage attraction.
Traffic heading into King's Lynn currently drives through the middle of it.
