Chelmsford Schemes

In 2022 planning permission was granted by Chelmsford City Council (ref: 22/00473/REM) for a new railway station to be built on the Great Eastern Main Line.

It is anticipated that the new station will improve transport links in the area, reducing car journeys into the city and improving facilities for rail users.

The existing A130 between the Boreham Interchange and the A131 was originally built in the 1980s. It needs to be fit for purpose, particularly as Chelmsford continues to grow, catering for increased walking, cycling and public transport.

Plans are in place to upgrade the safety barriers on the central reserve of the A1114 Essex Yeomanry Way in Chelmsford.

Machine surfacing improvements are scheduled for the B1008 New Street and Rectory Lane in Chelmsford, a key route to the university. These works will enhance the road condition, improving journeys for residents and businesses.

Machine surfacing improvements are scheduled to take place on the A1016/A1060, Parkway in Chelmsford which provides a valuable route through the city.

These works will enhance the road condition, improving journeys for residents.
