Cuckoo Corner improvement works – road closures
Published Friday 12th November 10 in Council - news and information releases news
The junction improvements currently underway at Cuckoo Corner as part of the Better Southend initiative are progressing well and on schedule to complete by the end of March 2011.
In order to get the work completed more quickly and to reduce disruption and inconvenience, Priory Crescent will be closed from 8pm on Friday 19th November until 6am on Monday 22nd November.
Residents wishing to gain access to Priory Crescent during this period will be provided with a pass which they can show the site workforce in order to be allowed through.
Motorists without passes will have to follow signed diversion routes in order to gain entry from another direction.
Manners Way will be closed on the evenings of Friday 19th and Saturday 20th November at 8pm and re-opened the following morning at 8am.
It will also be closed on the evening of Sunday 21st November at 8pm and reopened at 6am on Monday 22nd November.
Only houses up to Hampton Gardens will be affected by the closure and access permits will be given to the necessary residents.
This closure will allow contractors to work on both arms of the roundabout at the same time to complete kerb, drainage and paving works.
It will also enable work to excavate and reconstruct the carriageway on both Manners Way and Priory Crescent and the roundabout circulatory.
Traffic wishing to join the A127 will be able to do so using the remaining section of the roundabout circulatory.
