State of development
As the A120 starts traffic to London Stansted Airport, the section between the M11 and Braintree was re-routed as a four-lane expressway in the 2000s. The four-lane bypass around Braintree is carried out together with the A131 road . Further on, the Colchester bypass (shared here with the A12 ) has four lanes and a short section with six lanes. The remaining road sections are two-lane, in the area of junctions with additional main lanes.
