The A1023 is an A-road in Essex, England that goes from junction 28 on the M25 [location 1] through Brentwood to the A12.[location 2] The road was originally a Roman road which linked London and Colchester.[1] It opened in 1966, after the A12 was re-routed along the current Brentwood Bypass.[2][3]

Route

The A1023 starts at Brook Street Interchange (Junction 28 of the M25)[location 1] and then heads northeast as Brook Street into Brentwood. While Going through Brentwood the road changes name to London Road,[location 3] High Street,[location 4] then Shenfield road, where it meets the A128 at Wilson's Corner junction.[location 5] At Wilson's Corner northbound traffic follows Ongar Road towards Chipping Ongar and the A414, whilst southbound traffic follows Ingrave Road towards Ingrave and then on to the Southend Arterial Road (A127). The road then continues northeast from Wilson's Corner, where it meets with the western end of the A129,[location 6] which goes towards Sheffield station Hutton, and Billericay. It then continues as Chelmsford Road until it meets the A12 again at the Maryland Interchange.[location 2]

History

In the original 1922 road numbering, the A1023 number was allocated to short link road in Crimplesham, Norfolk between the current A1122 (in 1922 it was the A47), and A134. The road started on the A1122 Downham Road on the western side Crimplesham. It then headed east along Main Road for a few hundred yards before the road ended at its terminus on the A134. The A1023 was renumbered as a spur of the A134 in 1935 and is now unclassified.
