A busy route will close for two weeks for drainage works.

The scheme was scheduled to begin yesterday, (September 21), along Great Bentley Road, near the crossroads by The Kings Arms pub in Frating.

The work will improve drainage and help prevent water from pooling in the area.

The road must close so the work can be carried out safely, with a signed diversion route in place throughout.

The crossroads’ existing traffic lights will temporarily switch to a three-way system during the work.

Residents and businesses will still be able to reach their properties via the diversion route.

Essex Highways has warned residents and businesses to allow extra time for journeys because short delays are possible.

The dates may change because of bad weather or unexpected problems.
