Highways England Development Points
u M25 – New junction design to cross under the M25 to reduce the visual impact. Widening of a section of the M25 to improve traffic flow.
u Ockendon – Realignment to avoid going across the landfill.
u Access to the A13 and Tilbury:
u A13 and A128 – Redesign of the junction with the A13 to reduce congestion. This would allow us to remove the A128 junction from the proposed design.
u New junction near Tilbury – A new junction near east Tilbury and link road to Tilbury to improve traffic flow and provide an alternative route for HGVs.
u A226 junction – Removal of this junction to reduce the traffic impact on local roads.
u A2 – New junction design and widening of A2 to M2, junction 1 to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow.
u Future proofing – Three lanes rather than two for at least some of the route.
u Tunnel portals – Continuing our assessment about the length of the tunnel and where to locate the entrances.
