A129 road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The A129 is a main road in Essex, England.

The road connects Shenfield in the west and Hadleigh in the east, linking various commuter towns in the county. It forms a road link between the railway stations of Shenfield and Rayleigh. More significantly, it serves communters heading towards either London or Southend

In the west, its route starts in the town of Shenfield at the junction of the A1023, where it is called Hutton Road. From the town the road soon becomes Rayleigh Road and it runs through the adjacent village of Hutton and through a rural area until it enters the boundary of Billericay and becomes London Road. In the centre of Billericay the A129 is named Sun Street which then becomes Southend Road. To the south of Billericay the road enters the village of Crays Hill and becomes Crays Hill. On exiting the village it is again London Road. The road continues to Wickford and just before it is briefly interrupted by the A132 it is a dual carriageway for a short distance. When the road recommences off of the A132 it is again called Southend Road. On approaching Rayleigh and passing under the A130 it again becomes London Road. In Rayleigh, it is first Station Road and then Crown Hill, both for short distances. It then runs North-South and becomes the High Street and High Road and intersects with the A127 via a grade separated junction. To the South of the A127 it is Rayleigh Road and runs through Thundersley before terminating on the A13 in Hadleigh.
