All the roadworks and road closures to be aware of in Essex this week

There will be delays on some major roads in Essex this week, due to road closures and roadworks. The county’s roads have become busier again as we enter the summer season, so it’s advisable to plan ahead to make sure you don’t get stuck in traffic caused by roadworks.

The A12 continues to cause delays for motorists as the project rebuilding the Margaretting Bypass carries on. National Highways has said that further work at the junction with Marks Tey also will have some roadworks.

This week we’ve got some roadworks and road closures on the A12 up and down the county, as well as on smaller local roads, so it’s even more important to plan ahead.

One major closure on the A12 will see J25 at Marks Tey closed during the weekend due to resurfacing work ^[1].

Below you’ll find a list of all the roadworks you need to be aware of in Essex over the coming week. If you think we’ve missed any, be sure to get in touch with us via e-mail at [email protected]^[2].
