Temporary restrictions in place on New London Road

Temporary traffic lights have been place to protect London Road Bridge

Current status

As a precautionary measure to protect London Road Bridge, located behind Marks and Spencer store on New London Road in Chelmsford, temporary two-way traffic lights were installed on 24 June 2025.

These lights will help manage traffic while we investigate defects identified in the cast iron structure and options for repair.

To reduce congestion, priority will be given to vehicles travelling on New London Road from Parkway towards Bellmead.

The Park and Ride bus stop located on New London Road (fronting Grosvenor House, and opposite Job Centre) will be temporarily suspended.

Use of the river and pedestrian access over the structure will remain unaffected.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure the safe and continued use of the bridge.
