Roadworks during the school holidays

Essex residents are being encouraged to check the roads before they travel this summer. This is so they can make sure their journeys aren’t affected by roadworks and delays.

During the school holidays, peak time traffic is less busy. This means it is a good opportunity to complete repairs, particularly in traffic sensitive locations.

With more traffic management likely to be on the network, planning your route means journeys will be less affected by delays. Traffic management is essential to keep the public and workers safe.

It is easier to complete repairs smoothly and on time with the co-operation of the public. We would urge residents to treat workers with respect.

Residents can stay up to date and check where the latest works on the network are taking place.
