THE final phase of work to finish the notorious Sadlers Farm junction will start from Monday.

But some residents could be left facing late nights as some of the work could go on until as late as 11pm.

Surfacing and carriageway lining will begin from Monday to put in the final road surfacing and install markings. 

From Monday contractors will work from 8.30pm to 6am, but Essex County Council said that the noisiest part of the works will be finished by 11pm each night to cause minimum disruption to residents.

Sections of the roundabout will also be closed while the work is carried out.

The first closure for the works will be on the A13 Benfleet entry onto the roundabout on Tuesday 30 and Wednesday 31 October with motorists diverted via Canvey Way on the A130.

From Monday October 29, Romsey Road will be closed for one night with motorists’ diverted via Homefields Avenue and, on Monday November 5 and Tuesday November 6, Canvey Way on the The surfacing is expected to be finished by Mid November but the overall beleaguered £63millon project, which is now nine month’s behind schedule, will still not finish until January next year.

Once the surfacing is complete, the council’s contractor Birse will have to carry out landscaping around the improved junction and tidy up the area
