M13 motorway

M13 motorway

The M13 was a planned radial motorway from London to a proposed new airport located at Maplin Sands near Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Only preliminary planning was carried out for the motorway before the proposals for the airport were dropped in favour of expanding Stansted Airport.

The route would have followed a similar route to the current A13 through Barking and Dagenham to Rainham before heading north-east towards South Ockendon then east towards Basildon. The M13 route would have continued eastwards between Basildon and Stanford-le-Hope before passing north of Canvey Island and south of Hadleigh, Leigh-on-Sea. The last section of motorway would have been constructed in the Thames Estuary passing "south" of Southend-on-Sea and Shoeburyness to reach the proposed site of the airport.
