MOTORISTS and borough residents are warned to expect another weekend of distruption with another major closure of roads associated with Thurrock Council's A13 road-widening programme.

The latest closure, which starts at 9pm on Friday, 22 April and will remain in place until 5am on Monday, 25 April will see the Orsett Cock Roundabout fully closed through the whole weekend for construction and surfacing works.

In addition to the roundabout closure, all feeder roads will also be closed, including:

• A128 Brentwood Road closed in both directions between Orsett Road, Horndon and Orsett Roundabout
• A13 eastbound entry slip road closed
• A13 westbound exit slip road closed
• A1013 Stanford Road closed in both directions between Voujon and Orsett Roundabout (Voujon remains open)
• Brentwood Road closed in both directions between Welling Road and Orsett Roundabout
• A1013 Stanford Road closed in both directions between Rectory Road and Orsett Roundabout (Recycled in Orsett remains open)
• A13 westbound entry slip road closed
• A13 eastbound exit slip road closed

 The A13 itself will stay open in both directions.

 Road users are asked by the council to plan their journeys in advance to avoid the roundabout and its approaches and to find alternative routes, avoiding nearby villages.

Those wishing to travel to homes or businesses along the A1013 Stanford Road (east of Orsett Roundabout) are advised to do so via the eastern end of the Stanford Road via Buckingham Hill Road, London Road or The Manorway junction.

Those wishing to travel to and from The Bonners estate must do so via Chadwell St Mary as no access will be permitted via the Orsett Roundabout.
