The Highways Agency is putting together what it calls an "innovative" 10-year plan to solve problems on the A13 and the Dock Approach Road (A1089).

The Route Management Strategy (RMS) aims "to identify problems along the route and help find practical problems," says an agency statement. It will take in the A13 from the London boundary to its junction with the A1089.

Highways Agency network manager Eric Cooper said: "RMS plans ensure that individual trunk routes are managed in a consistent and efficient way and help to deliver the Government's policies for an integrated transport system."

A seminar is planned for April when representatives of interested groups will be invited to put forward their views.

Once the draft strategy is put together, consultations will be held in the autumn, with the final plan expected to be published early next year.
