Tendering starts for Colchester £100m link road
Essex County Council’s cabinet has given the green light to tender for a contractor to build a new link road between Colchester and Tendring.
Intro News
The A120-A133 Link Road will see the creation of a new dual carriageway between the A120 and A133 to the east of Colchester and unlock land for 7,500 homes to be developed.
As part of the scheme, there is to be a new 3 grade-separated ‘dumbbell’ type junction on the A120, with new accesses to existing facilities alongside the current road.
Plans for the A120/A133 link road include a four-lane dual carriageway and a park and ride service.
It is hoped building could now start in February 2024.
