Includes talk of a new “northern access road” to reduce “serious congestion on A127 and A13.
Is a new bypass back on the polictical agenda?
I’d be interested to know where the proposed northern access road will run. The sketch in their document appears to show it joining the A127 at Progress Road, and following Eastwood road before continuing to the Airport.
This doesn’t seem very practical as it would be right through the middle of residential areas. It also doesn’t relieve much traffic from the A127. My concern is that a more practical route would skirt the residential areas, passing near to Hockley, Hullbridge, and emerging to join either the A1245 or A130M, to give better access to the A127, A12 and A13.
This would make even more sense if the A130M gets linked to a Thames crossing at Canvey and extended to meet the A120 to form the Outer London Orbital that has often been talked about.
I see the proposed bypass made it into the echo…

Looks like they’re planning it to join the A127 near the Tesco Roundabout, which won’t do much to ease the current congestion, let alone the added traffic from 20,000 more homes.
