Plans for a new link road joining the A133 and A120 are to be submitted in a matter of months - paving the way for the creation of a new garden community near Colchester.
If given the go-ahead, the new dual carriageway 50mph road would open to cars in 2024, just as the first new homes in the new settlement to the east of Colchester are built.
Walking and cycling facilities will also be built into the plans, with the project set to be paid for through the government s Housing Infrastructure Fund - in recognition of the area s need for extra infrastructure to cope with housing growth.
