A safety campaign urges dualling the dangerous A120 in Essex, amid rising traffic and 27 deaths since 2000, as a government decision looms.
A new "Road to Safety" campaign has launched in Essex to address the A120’s deadly record, with 27 fatalities since 2000 and 25 deaths in the Marks Tey to Braintree stretch over 25 years.
The initiative pushes for the long-delayed dualling of the road, citing dangerous junctions, high traffic, and reckless driving, while welcoming recent speed camera installations.
Despite 80% public support in a 2017 consultation and prior investments, the project was shelved in 2022 due to costs exceeding £500 million.
With a government decision expected in April and concerns over the cancellation of a related widening project, campaigners urge action to transform the A120 into a safer, more efficient route, especially as housing growth increases traffic demand.
