Notice Title

CPSP 138 A12 Chelmsford (Junction 19) to A120 (Junction 25)Award Letter

Notice Description

The A12 Chelmsford (junction 19) to A120 (junction 25) is part of the strategic road network and supports national and regional economy by connecting Felixstowe and Harwich ports to London. It links the towns of Chelmsford, Witham, Marks Tey and Colchester. This road struggles to cope with existing peak traffic levels, resulting in delays and reduced speeds. With few available diversions, accidents lead to traffic disruption over a wide area. The projected growth in population and local development in the area will only increase the pressures on this road. To ease congestion and cope with increasing traffic, the A12 is to be widened between junction 19 (Chelmsford) and junction 25 (A120 interchange, Marks Tey). The project is proceeding to Development Consent order and is in PCF stage 3 - Preliminary Design Stage.
