Part of the A13 will be closed again this weekend as part of the ongoing widening project.
The road will be shut between the A128 (Orsett Cock) and the A1014 (Stanford-le-Hope) between 9pm today and 5am on Monday.
Local traffic is advised to take a diversion via the A1013 while non-local traffic is asked to avoid the closure by using the A127.
Thurrock Council has warned drivers to expect up to an hour of delays over the weekend.
There are further overnight closures planned along the A13 next week.
Both carriageways will be closed against between the A128 and A1014 between 9pm and 5am on both Monday night and Tuesday.

Diversions will again send drivers via the A1013.
Parts of the A13 will also be closed between 9pm and 5am on Wednesday and Thursday.
The eastbound exit slip road towards the A128 will be closed, while the west side of Orsett Cock roundabout will be shut on those two nights.
Contractors are continuing work to widen the road from two lanes to three. When complete, the widened section will join with the existing three-lane section of the A13, west of the A128, providing a continuous three-lane road in both directions between the M25 and Stanford-le-Hope.
