A14 Scheme Assessment Report

Highway Agency's A14 U-turn

A14 Ellington to Fen Ditton

The proposed scheme to improve the A14 comprises:

• A new dual carriageway to the south of Huntingdon between Ellington and Fen Drayton;
• Widening of the existing A14 to three lanes in each direction between Fen Drayton and Fen Ditton;
• Local access roads alongside the widened A14 to separate local and strategic traffic;
• Major interchanges with the A1 at Brampton, the existing A14 at Fen Drayton and the M11/A428 at Girton.

Cambridge Northern Bypass

The Cambridge Northern Bypass would be widened to three lanes in each direction. Between M11 Junction 14 and Histon Junction an auxiliary lane in both directions would be provided to safely accommodate the traffic joining and leaving the A14 at these two junctions. Only two lanes would be provided under Milton Junction, with a lane drop/gain each side of the junction to provide safe stacking space for traffic queuing back onto the A14. There would also be a lane drop/gain at Fen Ditton Junction with two lanes continuing as at present.
