The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has undertaken an assessment of the benefits of the proposed A120 dualling scheme.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Proposed improvements to the A120 between Braintree and Marks Tey, where the A120 meets the A12, were considered in detail by National Highways and the Department during the second Road Period (2020-2025) as part of the pipeline of potential future major enhancements to the strategic road network. The Department will provide an update on the pipeline of potential future enhancements as part of the publication of RIS3, due in March.
