On Monday, February 9, between the same times, the Elizabeth Road exit and entrance will be closed as will the west-bound entrance on to the A1306, former A13.

Local diversions will be signposted.

Thurrock Council will also carry out deep cleaning of the roundabout’s drainage system in an effort to ease flooding issues there.

Another road closure will be between 10pm on Monday, February 2 and 6am on Tuesday, February 3, at Wharf Road Grays, between London Road and Argent Street. It will be closed to through traffic at these times to allow a detailed railway bridge examination to be carried out.
