South of J4
South of junction 4, the motorway-standard A406 (North Circular Road and South Woodford to Barking Relief Road) continues southwards, crossing the A12 (Eastern Avenue) and ending at a junction with the A13 at Beckton. The section from the current end of the M11 until the A12 used to be part of the M11, but was eventually downgraded.Construction history
- South Harlow to A120 (J7 to J8): October 1972 to June 1975.
- Redbridge to Loughton (J4 to J6): September 1973 to April 1977.
- Loughton to South Harlow (J6 to J7): October 1974 to April 1977.
- A120 to Quendon (J8 to J9): May 1977 to November 1979.
- Quendon to Stump Cross (J9 to J10): May 1977 to November 1979. At Duxford the motorway passes through a cutting and under a roundabout joining it to the A505. This gives access to a site of the Imperial War Museum, some of whose hangars and aircraft can be seen from the motorway. In 1977 the main runway was shortened to 6,000 ft (1829 m) to enable the motorway to be built, and aircraft landing from the west or undertaking displays have at times come to rest on the motorway or just beyond it.
- Cambridge Western Bypass (J10 to J14): January 1977 to February 1980.
- Junction 8A: opened December 2002.
