NEW A12 HACKNEY TO M11 LINK ROAD OFFICIALLY OPENS
Highways Agency Chief Executive Lawrie Haynes officially opens the new
A12 Hackney to M11 Link Road on Wednesday morning.
The four-mile bypass is a major artery taking heavy traffic away from
the residential streets of Leyton and Leytonstone in north-east London
and restoring a village atmosphere to Wanstead. The social,
environmental, safety and economic aspects of the scheme, together with
the fact that it is also good news for motorists, are priorities in the
Government's transport policy.
Lawrie Haynes will cut a ribbon to inaugurate the final stretch of the
new road at the Green Man tunnel. You are invited to send a
reporter/photographer.
Date: Wednesday 6th October
Time: Rendevous 9.45am for 10am departure to ceremony site
Venue: W S Atkins site office, High Road, Leytonstone (northern end -
nearest tube Leytonstone). *Map sent on request.
Please note that only journalists with passes will be admitted to the
inauguration ceremony so we urge you to collect these from the site
office on arrival. We will provide transport to take journalists to the
site.
Issued on behalf of the Highways Agency by COI South East.
