Evidence base provides indicative proposals for upgrading junctions along A14 and potentially cost-effective measures for resolving link and junction capacity problems arising from growth. Potential measures include proposals to re-establish Bury Road Park and Ride and provision of a new site in Nacton Road. Consider these are potentially feasible options. However, measures will not address underlining A14 capacity issues. Further measures may be required e.g. variable mandatory speed limits, and substantial improvements at Junction 55 (Copdock). Funding of measures is an issue. At this stage there is no certainty of the availability of future Highways England capital funding programme funding.
