A120

Construction of a new single two-lane road to carry the A120 around the northern edge of the village of Little Hadham. At present the A120 passes through the village and along a length of narrow road that is single file and operates with traffic signals to alternate traffic flows.

The new bypass will connect to the existing A120 with a roundabout at either end, and will have no other connections to other roads.

Replacement of the existing A120 between Braintree and the A12 with a new purpose-built dual two-lane road. The existing road suffers congestion and unpredictable journey times, and takes a circuitous route that passes through numerous roundabouts at Coggeshall. This scheme aims to replace it with a continuation of the free-flowing A120 expressway from Stansted Airport to Braintree.

Construction of a new dual two-lane road to replace the existing A120 between Braintree and the A12 at Marks Tey.

Realignment of the A120 between Stansted Airport and Braintree. The new route is a new-build road with dual two-lane carriageways and hard shoulders, with provision for addition of an extra lane. This is a very rare large-scale road project, with 32 structures (such as bridges) on the route.

Provision of new free-flow links between the Stansted Airport approach road and the M11 to the south to ease chronic congestion at the junction. Alteration of junctions to allow the new A120 to flow directly onto the M11.
