1982 - A12 Colchester bypass. Also A120 Colchester north bypass I believe.

1982 - A130 Battlesbridge bypass (since re-bypassed in 2003).

The stretch of A130 from A127 to A13 was also done during this time.

I'm sure it was earlier than that. I have a 1977 Hamlyn atlas which shows it. It's not on my 1970 AA atlas.

The 1983 white paper says the A120 bypass (which it calls the Colchester eastern bypass) opened in June 1982.

My old Landranger 168, major roads revised 1979, shows the A12 bypass as open and the A120 bypass as under construction.

Leckwith Interchange (B4267) - Ferry Road (A4055) : 1988
Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest...
