We will be carrying out highway improvements on Bakers Lane / Cottis Lane. Works will involve reconstructing the carriageway and realigning the footways.
In order to carry out activities in a safe manner, the work will be carried out in phases, with road closures required according to the works.

Phase Two - In progress
Paused from 3 May 2026 for third party utility works.
From the roundabout with Cottis Lane, to (and including) the junction with Albany Court
Phase two began in April under a planned road closure.
Work is now on hold while third‑party utilities relocate their underground services so that the carriageway improvements can continue.
Carriageway works will resume once their activities are finished, but no confirmed dates are available yet.
During the closures, a signed diversion route will be in place using the following roads: St John’s Road, Coronation Hill and Lincolns Field.
We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation while we carry out these improvements.
Please note that the programme may be subject to change if affected by poor weather or if unexpected issues arise.
We aim to keep residents and businesses updated via this webpage and site signage. Information will also be shared with local parish councils.
For details about other roadworks in the area please visit: one.network or our social media pages @essexhighways on X and Facebook.
