The A12 at Hatfield Peverel is due to be improved and made safer during the next five years.
That stretch of the busy trunk road has been highlighted in a Government study of transport between Ipswich and London, but no details have been decided yet.
It is known, however, that the road will be upgraded and the slip roads, often condemned as confusing, will be improved.
Ron Williams, Essex County Councillor responsible for highways, said he was delighted that the Government was at last recognising the need to improve the county's primary routes.
