This article is about the current plans for a junction on the M11 for a Harlow northern bypass.
For the original junction, see Sheering Interchange.
For the original junction, see Sheering Interchange.
Junction 7A of the M11 is a northern junction for Harlow. Essex CC built a link road from the B183 to a dumbbell on the M11. The link road is a dual carriageway, with the junction itself providing space for a future A414 Harlow northern bypass to meet the M11 at this junction.
A previous plan was designed to force motorway-bound traffic heading through a tight 270° turn making space for a trumpet interchange with the proposed northern bypass.
Funding for the junction was announced in March 2017 as part of the government's pinch points scheme.
Planning permission was granted in Summer 2017 with the start of construction in 2018 and planned opening in 2021.
The junction opened to traffic on 10th June, 2022.
