Overview
- Suffolk County Council set November 14 for formal submission of the application covering the A12 section north of Ipswich.
- Works propose upgrades to seven junctions, a new mobility hub at Adastral Park, and a replacement bridge for pedestrians and cyclists at Martlesham.
- The scheme includes dualling between the A12/B1438 Ipswich Road and A12/B1079 Grundisburgh Road, plus a new layby and an agricultural accessway.
- Plans feature a signalised bus link at Anson Road in Martlesham, new shared-use paths at Portal Avenue and north of A1152 Woods Lane, and improved crossings with upgraded signals.
- Business and local leaders offered mixed reactions, with the Suffolk Chamber backing congestion relief including for Sizewell C traffic and a Kesgrave councillor welcoming investment but questioning whether it solves local problems.
