Road closures

The following temporary road closures are in place:

On Monday 2 and Tuesday 3 May, 9.30am – 3pm Thorn Lane, Rainham will be closed for resurfacing.

Until Wednesday 18 May, between 9.30am and 3.30pm Salisbury Road, Gidea Park will be closed in both directions, between Brentwood Road and Heath Park Road.

A127 road sign

A127 access from Bryant Avenue to close

The eastbound lane which was closed as part of the Ardleigh Green Bridge replacement, will now be open during daytime working. This should continue until June.

Lanes on the A127 may still be closed overnight to allow work to take place as part of this scheme.

Access to the A127 from Bryant Avenue, Harold Wood will be closed for around eight weeks from Tuesday 3 May while essential utility works are carried out.

Traffic will be able to enter Bryant Avenue during this period from both the A127 and the A12. All traffic leaving Bryant Avenue will have to do so using the  junction with the A12 because the junction with the A127 will be closed. 

Access to the A127 from Bryant Avenue will also be closed during the demolition and replacement of the eastern half (the Essex bound carriageway) of the bridge from summer 2016.  This is likely to be for around nine months.

Email here for more information about Bryant Avenue closures.

Transport for London is doing essential works on the Lodge Avenue flyover which means it will be closed from 10pm Friday until 5am on Monday on  weekend of 29 April to 2 May

During next week, as part of work being done by Highways England, there may be lane closures on the A13, near the junction with the M25.
