Turn-off for the A1124, once upon a time the A604 and even earlier the old A132.

Route confirmation north of the A414 junction. Note destinations via the A130 - it multiplexes with the A12 for a couple of miles.

Services are located at the next junction (A130/A138).

Approach to the next (and last) junction on the Bypass, with the A130 and A138 (the A130 multiplexes with the A12 along the bypass).

Approach to the A130(North)/A138 junction. The A138 includes part of the A12 pre-1986, heading NE out of Chelmsford.

Just past the diverge with the A130/A138 junction, with roundabout sign on the off-slip (although it looks as if it pertains to the mainline!)

Approach signage for the A130 junction. The A130 used to head through central Chelmsford, but multiplexes with the A12 for a couple of miles. The route into Chelmsford is now A1114 and A1060. The route south now follows the D2M Rettendon Bypass, with hard-shoulders.

HGVS are told to travel via A12, near the A130/A1114 junction.

Penultimate junction on the bypass is for the eastern end of the A414 towards Maldon, non-primary here and I think pointlessly renumbered from the old A122 (which has disappeared since the 1980s!). The section into Chelmsford is now A1060, so the A12 actually multiplexes with the A414 three-quarters the way round the bypass!

Approach to the A414 (east) junction.

A lane drop up ahead for the A414 junction near Chelmsford. Once upon a time, the A414 section heading into the town was the A12, before the Chelmsford Bypass was built in the late 1980s.

Approach to the junction with the A414, marking the start of the Chelmsford Bypass section.

The start of the Chelmsford Bypass section, completed in the mid-80s. The original route was first renumbered A1016, then A414 in recent years.

This bridge is a footbridge across a busy road in Chelmsford.
This is how to make the A12/A130/A1114 junction to the south of Chelmsford into a freeflow. Firstly there's no need for access between the A1114 and A12 North since there's junctions just off the northern edge of the map that caters for these movements. The old A130 at the western end of Howe Green is stopped up and access to the A roads would be via a GSJ on the A130 about a mile to the south, this is due to a fifth entry to the junction causing further complications.
