M11 J7A

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.

Junction 7A of the M11 is a proposed northern junction for Harlow. Essex CC seeks to build a link road from the B183 to a dumbell on the M11 at the location linked to on the map on the right of the page. The link road will be a dual carriageway with a second part built dumbell. This is to allow an 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 anticipated start of construction in 2018 and opening in 2021.
