Road Closures February 2015
Essex Highways Department have announced a large list of road closures affecting large parts of the Colchester & Braintree areas from 9th February. The Temporary Closure Notice states that:
The closures are scheduled to commence within 18 months from 09 February 2015 or where appropriate signs are showing and weather permitting, and are required for the safety of the public and workforce while highway maintenance works are undertaken. Exact dates of the road closures will be notified via advanced warning signage on sites. Letters to residents and other affected or interested parties advising of the works/dates and other relevant information will also be sent out at least 2 weeks in advance.
Those closures where the diversion route crosses over into another County or use the A12 and A120 are subject to the approval of the relevant County Council or the Highways Agency.
Access for emergency service vehicles and pedestrians will be maintained at all times during the closure.
The Order will come into effect on 09 February 2015 and may continue in force for 18 months or until the works have been completed, whichever is the earlier.
The following appear to be those ‘closest to home’ but the best advice seems to be to look out for the yellow advance warning signs!
