Admin History:
The Army and Navy flyover was built in 1978 as a temporary measure to ease traffic congestion on the entry into Chelmsford. In September 2019, it was deemed unsafe and permanently closed. The decision was subsequently made to dismantle it, with a taskforce created to oversee the development of proposals for a long-term solution at the junction.
