In order to complete the next phase in the Sadlers Farm Junction Improvement Scheme a section of the A13 will be closed for four nights from 12 to 15 December.

The closure is required to allow the steel bridge beams for the new Church Road Bridge to be placed safely.

The A13 will be closed east and west bound between the Pitsea Flyover and Sadlers Farm Roundabout, from 11pm to 5am.

The diversion will be via the B1464 London Road. Advanced signing will be in place to inform motorists of the closures.
