A12 Trunk Road between the M25 and Ipswich</strong></p><p>National Highways is currently
working through an extensive programme to rebuild concrete roads which have come to

journeys and extend the life of the A12 to make it fit for the future. There are two
such schemes currently underway on the A12:</p><p>A12 Margaretting Bypass (junctions
13 to 15) a £65million concrete road reconstruction scheme – expected completion by
summer 2024.</p><p>A12 Marks Tey (junction 25) to Stanway (junction 26) a £37milllion
concrete road reconstruction scheme – expected completion by summer 2024.</p><p>National
Highways is also delivering major improvements to increase capacity, reduce congestion
and improve safety at M25 junction 28. This circa £160million junctions enhancement
scheme is expected to complete by summer 2025.</p><p><strong>The A14 between Cambridge
and Ipswich</strong></p><p>There are ongoing road works on the A14 Haughley (junction
47a) to Tothill (junction 49) as part of a £37 million concrete road reconstruction
scheme expected to be completed by summer 2024. National Highways is currently reconstructing
