A127 road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The A127 is a trunk road in England linking London with Southend-on-Sea. It is a dual carriageway for its entire length, and is known as the Southend Arterial Road except for part of its length in Southend-on-Sea.

The A127 starts as a turning off the A12 at Gallows Corner in the London Borough of Havering. Its first significant junction is a crossroads (Squirrels Heath) with Squirrels Heath Road and Ardleigh Green Road. There are traffic lights here, but after that, there are no traffic lights or roundabouts until it enters Southend-on-Sea, though there are a few side turnings.

The A127 crosses the M25 motorway at M25 Junction 29, and then immediately crosses into Essex. The next major junction is with the A128 at West Horndon.

It continues through southern Essex, bypassing Laindon, Basildon and Thundersley, before entering Southend-on-Sea.

At the Kent Elms junction with the A1015, there are traffic lights. The A127 changes its name to Prince Avenue. There is a roundabout (the first since Gallows Corner) and a turn-off for a shopping centre. The next roundabout is Cuckoo Corner. The exits to the north and east are both the A1159, to Southend Municipal Airport and Thorpe Bay respectively. However, the A127 turns south and becomes Victoria Avenue.

The A127 terminates in the centre of Southend-on-Sea at a roundabout junction with the A13. Southend Victoria Station adjoins this roundabout.
