A120 Roundabout Birchanger Lane closure

The A120 Roundabout exit onto and off Birchanger Lane is due to close from the 3rd of November as part of the ongoing M11 Junction 8 improvement scheme.

The Birchanger Lane works, carried out by contractor John Sisk & Son, are part of the wider scheme to improve congestion in the area by replacing the existing A120/A1250 Roundabout with a new signalised junction. This includes the realignment of Birchanger Lane, making it easier to access the A120 and A1250.

Except for access, the closure will be in place until Spring 2023. During this time, bus stops and services along this route will be diverted with buses using Birchwood in Birchanger Village to turn around and head northbound on Birchanger Lane. To enable this, a parking restriction has been implemented on Birchwood for the duration of the works.
