Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 17:38 · Archive

Colchester Road near Wakes Colne will close from 19 to 24 October for micro-surfacing works by Essex County Council.

Colchester Road is due to shut near Wakes Colne from Monday, October 19 until Saturday, October 24 for planned remedial works by Essex County Council. Motorists travelling between Colchester and Halstead are expected to experience delays during the five-day closure.

The work will involve micro-surfacing the road, which applies a thin layer of new material on top of the existing surface. According to Essex County Council, the treatment restores the surface texture, improves skid resistance and creates a water-resistant protective layer designed to extend the life of the road. Pre-patching will also be carried out before the main resurfacing to repair defects in the existing road surface.

A temporary traffic regulation order is required for the works. The footway will remain open during the closure. Motorists in the Wakes Colne area are advised to be aware of the closure and allow extra time for their journeys.
