Chelmsford's Army and Navy roundabout hits new milestone

17/01/2024 About 1 minute Share article:
Planning applications have now been submitted for the Army and Navy Sustainable Transport Package, marking another milestone for the project.

The proposed £81m package includes a hamburger roundabout (a new roundabout with a road through the centre of it) at the Army and Navy junction in Chelmsford. It also includes bus priority measures and walking and cycling improvements at the junction itself and on the approaches to and from the roundabout.

Essex County Council has worked closely with partners and the local community to develop its proposals, with the hamburger roundabout residents' preferred option during public consultation.

The Army and Navy Sustainable Transport Package will also provide a 350-space expansion of Sandon Park and Ride and a 500-space expansion of Chelmer Valley Park and Ride.
