Update on New A12 Junction for North Colchester

Work has been proceeding apace and the 2nd-3rd October road closure is going ahead as scheduled in order to connect the link roads to the A12 (see website for detail). The new junction will serve an area of redevelopment land to the south of the A12, in the vicinity of the Weston Homes Community Stadium, and will enable the development of

the new Northern Approaches Road (Phase 3), and also serve the relocated BP Services and the proposed Park & Ride. The full news update can be downloaded from our website here.
