Chapelgate development, Laindon Link, Basildon 

About the scheme

As part of a developer-funded scheme by Sempra Homes Ltd, highway improvements are planned on the B1007 Laindon Link, Basildon, to support the new residential development at Chapelgate.

These works are essential to ensure safe and suitable access to the new development and will include:

• Remodelling the existing signal-controlled junction on Laindon Link (previously serving a car park), including the removal of the old left-turn slip road and improved pedestrian crossing facilities.
• Resurfacing sections of the carriageway to enhance road quality and safety.
• Upgrading bus stops on both the eastbound and westbound sides of Laindon Link.

How it may affect you

The works are scheduled to begin on Monday 6 October 2025 and are expected to last for approximately six weeks.

The majority of the works will take place Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

Carriageway resurfacing is provisionally planned for the week commencing 10 November 2025 and will involve overnight work between 9pm to 5am.

The bus stop upgrades are planned to take place in the school autumn half-term starting from Monday 27 October 2025.

Traffic management 

For the duration of the daytime works, Laindon Link will be controlled by multi-way temporary traffic signals at the junction with Great Knightleys.

An overnight road closure will be required on the westbound carriageway of Laindon Link to facilitate carriageway resurfacing on the dates stated above. A signed diversion route will be in place during this time.

Passenger transport

During the autumn half-term, the bus stops on both sides of Laindon Link near the site access will be temporarily closed.

Please check with your local bus operator for details on temporary bus stop locations and revised timetables during this period.
