Diversion routes will follow the A1151 and B1354 through Wroxham and Hoveton.
Coltishall has seen an increase in bottlenecking traffic travelling between Norwich and a large area of north Norfolk in recent years.
Many of its residents say cars, lorries and farm vehicles funnel through the village rather than surrounding ones because other routes take much longer.
Others say the situation has worsened since the opening of the NDR, which they claim is sending more motorists their way.
