Plans for Part of A14 to Become a Motorway Please see below a message from Mike Evans of Highways England:
We have undertaken a preliminary study to explore reclassifying the new A14 between Girton and Ellington as motorway. We are also considering extending the motorway status to include the A1 between Brampton and Alconbury to join with the existing A1(M). This would create an unbroken motorway link between London and Peterborough.
The benefits of a motorway are increased safety and more reliable journeys. To achieve this, motorway regulations prohibit certain road users. The prohibition of pedestrians, cyclists and horse drawn vehicles was already included in the planning for the new A14. Prohibition would be extended to cover vehicles under 50cc and agricultural vehicles. However, as you know, we have already designed-in alternative routes for this traffic and provided alternative means of access to land which do not rely on the new A14.
Please be assured that the design and engineering of the route will not change. We still plan on opening the road by the end of 2020.
The next step in the process of reclassifying the road is completion of a detailed traffic and environmental assessment, later this year. We will then apply to the Planning Inspectorate for an amendment to the scheme’s development consent order to allow us to change the road classification from trunk road to motorway. You will have an opportunity to give the Planning Inspectorate your views on the amendments at that point.
For your information I have attached a copy of our press release on the subject, published today, and a plan of the scheme showing the extent of the proposed motorway status. In the coming weeks we will be speaking with farmers and land owners. We will also taking our mobile visitors centre out and about – please let us know whether you’d like it to come to a location near you.
If you have any questions, please speak with your usual project contact or contact us at A14CambridgeHuntingdon@highwaysengland.co.uk.
Regards,
Mike Evans A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement

A14 Diversions and Traffic Management PDF 193 KB At times it is necessary for Highways England to close the A14 to allow the roadworks to be undertaken at night and/or over a weekend. Although signed diversions are put in place drivers are using alternative routes on local roads through villages which is impacting on a number of communities along the length of the A14.
Highways England and Cambridgeshire County Council (as the local highway authority) are working together to try to minimise these impacts. Extensive consideration has been given to this issue - the attached note outlines various measures that have been undertaken to date, and those that have been considered but are not possible to do.
If local communities would like to propose other measures which have not already been considered please forward suggestions to pam.hobson@thea14.com at Highways England. |
