Furtherwick Road, Canvey Island - Necessary Reconstruction and Kerb Repairs

About the scheme

We're carrying out necessary reconstruction and kerb repairs in and around Furtherwick Road, Canvey Island to help preserve the road and extend its lifespan.

The scheme will focus on repairing sections of damaged footway and replacing defective kerbs in areas where the deterioration is too severe to be addressed through slurry sealing alone.

These targeted repairs will ensure the highway remains safe, serviceable and resilient for all users. 

This work forms part of Essex Highways' ongoing highway maintenance programme, which aims to preserve existing assets and prevent further deterioration.

By addressing problem areas now, we can help maintain the overall condition of the road, improve the quality of journeys for residents and visitors, and reduce the need for more extensive and disruptive repairs in the future.

 

How the work will affect you

The works are scheduled to start on 12 October, with the overall scheme expected to take approximately 23 weeks to complete. Working hours will typically be between 08:00 and 16:00, although these may vary if required. 

Please note that all dates are weather-dependent and may be subject to change if any unexpected situations arise. 

Works will take place in and around Furtherwick Road, Canvey Island. Specific working areas will be phased throughout the programme and will be communicated as the scheme progresses.

 

Traffic Management

To ensure the safety of our workforce and the travelling public, temporary multi phase traffic lights will be in place while works are being undertaken.

Access for residents and businesses will be maintained wherever possible, although there may be some delays during certain stages of the works.

We advise motorists to allow extra time for their journeys and follow any signed diversion routes where required.

 

Further information

Residents directly affected by these works will be contacted directly. Updates, traffic management and access information will be reflected on local signage and this webpage as information becomes available.
