Major M11 milestone reached after bridge installation The M11 in Essex now boasts a new bridge after crews worked night shifts recently to install a 500 tonne construction over the motorway as part of the ongoing Junction 7A scheme. A section of the motorway was closed overnight while a 600-tonne crawler crane lifted the five 45m braced beams, each weighing up to 100 tonnes, into place as part of the ongoing M11 Junction 7A scheme. Welcoming the milestone, Councillor Kevin Bentley, Leader of Essex County Council, said: “The M11 Junction 7A scheme is the largest infrastructure project in the county for a number of years. Once complete it will have a transformational impact on Harlow’s road network, helping create a new east-west link through the town, reducing congestion, creating new public transport links and, in the future, supporting the new Princess Alexandra Hospital. The M11 Junction 7A scheme is due to be completed and operational by 2022.
Have you heard about the new E10 petrol? Fuel pumps up and down the country will look different this summer with the introduction of E10 petrol, a greener fuel. The new fuel is petrol blended with up to 10% renewable ethanol, making it greener than existing petrol – motorists are being asked to check their vehicle is compatible with the fuel. The introduction of E10 will be across all UK petrol stations in Great Britain from September, with the aim of potentially cutting transport CO2 emissions by 750,000 tonnes a year – equivalent to the annual uptake of a forest the size of the Isle of Wight. The introduction of E10 will see renewable ethanol in petrol double from the current petrol blend E5, which contains no more than 5% ethanol, further reducing emissions from millions of cars in line with our climate change targets. A small number of older vehicles, including classic cars and some from the early 2000s, will continue to need E5 fuel, which is why supplies of E5 petrol will be maintained in the super petrol grade. We are advising motorists to use the new https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-e10-petrol.
