SOUTHEND Council is warning of road closures across the borough for repairs and resurfacing as part of a huge investment programme.

About 15 roads across Southend are planned for repairs and resurfacing in April as the council continues with its planned highways works programme.

A full list of roads set for repairs throughout April has been released as the council’s highways contractor, Marlborough, will be repairing and relaying full roads and stretches of roads that require immediate attention.

All road closures will be clearly signposted two weeks prior to the works taking place and all works are dependent on the weather, as crews are not able to lay roads in inclement weather.

  • Alton Gardens will be closed for five days
  • Southchurch Roundabout will be closed for four nights.
  • Highfield Crescent will be closed for two nights
  • Aviation Way will close for one night
  • Wilson Road will close for two days
  • Swanage Road will be closed for the works for three days
  • Woodgrange Drive will close for one night Chester Avenue will be closed for works for two days
  • Recreation Avenue will close for two days
  • Darenth Road will close for two days
  • Bryant Avenue will be closed for roadworks for two days
  • Keith Way will be closed for three days

Andrew Moring, cabinet member for infrastructure, said: “We know that the quality of the roads across the borough is an important issue, and this was highlighted in our Southend 2050 engagement work with residents, from which residents highlighted the need to having high quality roads.

“Recognising this, we announced significant expenditure on highways improvements over the next three years in our 2019/20 budget, and we are fully committed to providing good quality roads that residents and visitors want and need.”
