M11 and A120 Stansted Airport: road repairs

We are undertaking a number of schemes, which includes resurfacing parts of the M11 and A120, as part of a package of works. The package of works should be completed by July. We are also putting in new signs to make the road easier to navigate. We will be working between 8pm and 6am, with a number of road closures, lane closures and slip road closures. There will also be some daytime lane closures with speed limits in place. Where necessary, there will be a clearly signed diversion route in place.

This week:

We are repairing an embankment on the M11 at junction 6 (M25), working during the day to remove the embankment and then reconstruct it by replacing the material. This will make the embankment more secure and reduce the risk of flooding. We expect to complete this by July.
We are extending the central barrier on the M11 between junctions 6 (M25) and 7 (Harlow). This will be done overnight on Wednesday 23 March between 9pm and 5am.
In the same location we are repairing and improving the M11 between junctions 8 (Stansted Airport) and 6 (M25). Work should be completed imminently. There will be lane closures and speed restrictions throughout the works and a number of road closures between junctions 8 and 6, with all work taking place between 10pm and 6am.

This week:

We are resurfacing sections of the M11 northbound between junctions 7 (Harlow) and 8 (Stansted airport) on Monday 21 March, with the motorway closed between the two junctions while we are working. There will be a clearly signed diversion route whereby drivers will take the A414 past Harlow, A1184 through Sawbridgeworth and the A120 around Bishop’s Stortford to re-join the M11 at junction 8.
M11 and A14 Cambridgeshire: improvements

This week:

We are repairing the embankment and the bridge on the A1307 Huntingdon Road. A lane closure is in place in both directions as well as a 40mph speed limit, to remain in place 24 hours a day with the other lane remaining open.
We are renewing and restoring the safety barrier in the centre of the road between junctions 31 (M11 interchange) and 34 (Horningsea). We will be working between 8pm and 6am, with work expected to be completed in April. While we are working there will be lane closures in both directions between the junctions overnight with a 40mph limit throughout the works.
We are doing some remedial work on the M11 at junction 13 (A1303 Madingley Road). On Monday 21 March there will be a lane closed between junctions 12 (A603) and 13 and the northbound exit slip road will be closed. Northbound traffic will continue north on the M11 to junction 14 and head east on the A14 to junction 32, returning westbound on the A14 to the A428 and then to the entry slip from the A1303 where the diversion ends. Traffic wishing to return to the A1303 Madingley Road will continue to the Hardwick junction taking the exit and return east on the A428 to the Madingley exit slip, where the diversion ends. On Tuesday 22 March there will be a lane closed at the junction and the southbound entry slip will be closed. Southbound traffic will take the A1303 towards Cambridge, head south on the A1135, then take the A603 to re-join the M11 at junction 12.
