Road Junction Plans Revised

Essex Highways has revised their plans for Junction 8 of the M11 and the Birchanger Lane/A120/A1250 junction. The proposed layout, forcing all traffic leaving the village to turn left, has been dropped. Instead there's a single staggered traffic-light controlled junction allowing traffic from Birchanger to turn left, right or go across to Dunmow Road. A letter announcing the news was sent to Keith Williams, the Birchanger Parish Council clerk, today.

The full details can be found on the Higways website at https://www.essex.gov.uk/m11junction8.

The letter from Highways and the final site plan are below.
