Suffolk County Council: A12 proposed Improvements A14 “Seven Hills” to A1152 Woods Lane
We write to you in relation to proposed improvements to the A12 between the A14 at Seven Hills and the A1152 at Wood Lane (“the A12 Scheme”). A public consultation will begin today (Tues 9 Feb), and continue to Fri 19 March. All details are available at www.suffolk.gov.uk/A12improvements During the consultation there are two virtual events to be held where people can hear a presentation on the proposals and then ask questions – details and link available on the webpage.
The A12 Scheme will enhance highway capacity at the A12 junctions between the A14 Seven Hills and the A1152 Woods Lane. It will also provide a new section of dualled road and improve walking/cycling and public transport facilities. We have developed our proposals by assessing traffic movements and traffic demand impacts at the junctions. The results from this analysis is that a number of the A12 junctions will be over capacity and/or be subject to significant congestion in future years, which is associated with planned growth and development in the area. The works proposed by the A12 Scheme will help to mitigate these impacts and improve facilities for walking/cycling and public transport use.
We would welcome your views on the proposals via the questionnaire that is linked from the consultation page above, do please share information about the consultation with your own networks.
Thank you

Transport Policy and Development Manager
