TheA1120 is an 'A' road in the Englishcounty ofSuffolk.[1] It linksStowmarket toYoxford passing through the centre of the county.[2] It is 26 miles (42 km) long.
From west to east the road passes through the following settlements:
The A1120 was the original Cambridge southern bypass, upgraded from the B1046 in the early 1930s.
Starting on theA603 Newnham Road the A1120 headed east along The Fen Causeway, which was only built in the mid-1920s (and opened as part of the B1046). A staggered crossroads took the road over theA10 Trumpington Road, after which the road ran northeastwards along Lensfield Road and East Road, to end on theA45 Newmarket Road.
In 1935, the A1120 was renumbered as an eastern extension of theA603 itself. The Fen Causeway has since been renumbered as part of theA1134 ring road, although theA603 is still here as the junior partner in a multiplex.
