A SERIES of weekday evening closures of the eastbound A13 between the North Stifford junction and Orsett Cock roundabout will begin on Monday, 15 January and will continue until the morning of Friday, 2 February.

The closure will also affect the entry and exit from the A1089 Dock approach road.

National Highways say the work will include reconstruction and repair of the carriageway and slip roads.

Diversions via local roads will be signposted during the closures, which will be closed from 9pm to 5am.
