The new scheme at Hethel aims to improve access to the businesses and organisations based off the B1135, such as Hethel Engineering Centre and car manufacturer Lotus.
But it will mean disruption for drivers, with Wymondham Road due to be closed for about four months in the summer.
Preliminary work on the scheme started last October, but the main construction of a new spine road and roundabout is now under way.
Leaders at South Norfolk Council and Norfolk County Council have said the project is needed to support the future growth of the site, where 50 acres of nearby land are earmarked for engineering and technology businesses.
It will see a new three-arm roundabout built on the Wymondham Road, with the north arm providing spine road access through the site.
That road would then join Potash Lane northeast of the Hethel Engineering Centre site.
Spurs off the spine road will provide access to the land which has been earmarked for new businesses. The design also includes pedestrian and cycle links.
Following a period of temporary lights, Wymondham Road will be closed from June until September with diversions in place.
Officials at South Norfolk Council have promised that residents and businesses will receive regular updates on traffic management plans and overall construction dates.
The council, along with Norfolk County Council, has put money into the project, as has the Greater Norwich Growth Board.
However, the scheme has had its critics.
When outline proposals came before South Norfolk Council, Liberal Democrat district councillor Jim Webber likened it to "the Milton Keynes-isation of South Norfolk" - a reference to the many roundabouts in the Buckinghamshire city.
