Construction history

  • South Harlow to A120 (J7 to J8): October 1972 to June 1975.
  • Redbridge to Loughton (J4 to J6): September 1973 to April 1977.
  • Loughton to South Harlow (J6 to J7): October 1974 to April 1977.
  • A120 to Quendon (J8 to J9): May 1977 to November 1979.
  • Quendon to Stump Cross (J9 to J10): May 1977 to November 1979. At Duxford the motorway passes through a cutting and under a roundabout joining it to the A505. This gives access to a site of the Imperial War Museum, some of whose hangars and aircraft can be seen from the motorway. In 1977 the main runway was shortened to 6,000 ft (1829 m) to enable the motorway to be built, and aircraft landing from the west or undertaking displays have at times come to rest on the motorway or just beyond it.
  • Cambridge Western Bypass (J10 to J14): January 1977 to February 1980.
  • Junction 8A: opened December 2002.

The Motorway Archive. M11 London to Cambridge Motorway (4087 words)
One of the largest motorway projects ever to be engineered by a single consultant, this section of the M11 ran a distance of 63.6 kilometres northwards from Redbridge in east London to Stump Cross, where it temporarily rejoined the A11 south of Cambridge prior to the completion of the Cambridge Western By-pass.
In the flood plain the embankments carrying the motorway rose to nine metres, and the only sections of cutting were at the western limit where an existing A406 cutting was widened, and a 3.2 kilometre length north of Woodford Bridge where the route curves away from the river through higher sloping ground.
Most of the M11 bridges were built to standard 'type' designs, and therefore many of the bridges on contracts 4A and 4B were similar to designs already built on the completed sections of the motorway.
M11 motorway - Biocrawler (641 words)
The M11 motorway in England is a major road running approximately south-north from northeast London to Cambridge.
The M11 begins at a free-flowing junction with the North Circular Road (A406) near South Woodford railway station in the London Borough of Redbridge, and heads north-northeast, crossing the boundary from Greater London into Essex.
In 1977 the main runway was shortened to 6,000 ft (1829 m) to enable the motorway to be built, and aircraft landing from the west or undertaking displays have at times come to rest on the motorway or just beyond it.
