Consultation starts on A12 upgrade

24 Jan 17 Highways England is seeking views on how best to upgrade the A12 in Essex.

Proposals for a multi-million pound widening project on the congested A12 have gone on show, with views sought on four options. Consultation runs until 3rd March 2017.

The aim is to increase capacity on the A12 to the east of Chelmsford, between junction 19 (Boreham interchange) and junction 25 (Marks Tey interchange).

The four shortlisted options are:

  • Option 1 – widening the existing A12 corridor (the online option)
  • Option 2 – widening the existing A12 corridor between junctions 19 to 22 and 23 to 24 and two new bypasses between junctions 22 and 23 (Rivenhall) and between junctions 24 and 25 (Marks Tey)
  • Option 3 – a variation of option 2 with only one new bypass between junctions 22 and 23 (Rivenhall)
  • Option 4 – a variation of option 2 with only one new bypass between junctions 24 and 25 (Marks Tey).
