The proposed A127/A130 Fairglen Interchange scheme has reached a significant milestone after orders were published to enable Essex County Council to acquire land and authorise the council to make changes to highways and means of access to premises as part of the scheme.

Any objections to the orders must be made in writing to the Secretary of State for Transport, c/o The National Transport Casework Team, Tyneside House, Skinnnerburn Road, Newcastle Business Park, Newcastle up Tyne NE4 7AR before 24th February 2022.
Essex County Council, working with Chelmsford City Council, submitted a planning application for the bypass, part of £250 million worth of investment which also includes a new railway station at Beaulieu.
Following an initial period of consultation, the council has responded to feedback given by providing clarification, additional information and some design changes relating to certain aspects of the scheme including noise, biodiversity, lighting, landscape and drainage.
As a result, the plans have been made available for a further 30-day period of consultation from Thursday January 13.
New dates have been scheduled for upcoming overnight road closures in Basildon after the completion of surfacing works was delayed because of staffing shortages affecting our supply chain.
Overnight closures of Christopher Martin Road and the A132 East Mayne have now been rescheduled, with the latest dates available on this page below.
The closures will be in place from 9pm until 5am and diversion routes will be in place.
These dates are subject to further change so please check our webpage regularly for the latest information.
To support this scheme a Traffic Regulation Order has been submitted. to create a new set of Traffic Signals at the A120 junction with A1250 Dunmow Road and Birchanger Lane.

The proposed signals will include a staggered signal-controlled pedestrian/cycle crossing (Toucan type), the introduction of a 50mph Speed Limit Restriction on A120 Birchanger, A1250 Dunmow Road, and Birchanger Lane, the introduction of a 24-hour Clearway Restriction on A120 Birchanger, A1250 Dunmow Road and Birchanger Lane and the conversion of a shared, un-segregated footway/cycleway on A1250, Dunmow Road.
