THE closure of the Deeping entrance to Southchurch Road from the Victoria Circus roundabout has been delayed by a week.
The Deeping was due to close permanently from Monday, February 15 but will now close on the evening of Sunday, February 21.
The closure is to enable road improvements which are part of a £25m investment programme.
More than £7 million is being invested to replace the roundabout with a traffic light junction and create a new green public space linking Southend Victoria station with the town centre.
Until the works have been completed access to Chichester Road and Southchurch Road (including the Victoria and Essex Street car parks) will be via the Queensway House roundabout.
