Essex road upgrade gets green light
The Fairglen Interchange is to be improved
A road upgrade in Essex has been given the go-ahead by the government.
The Department for Transport says drivers will benefit from faster journeys.
The scheme approved is the A127/A130 Fairglen Interchange.
A total of more than £50 million for the scheme is being provided by the government.
The Future of Roads Minister, Lilian Greenwood, said: "The UK's roads are the backbone of a growing economy, which is why we're giving these vital schemes the go-ahead, helping deliver our plan for change.
"Economic growth has been stunted for too long, so we're giving the green light and investing in vital schemes to help people get from A to B more easily however they choose to travel."
