Harlow STC night closure - Velizy Avenue A1019

On behalf of Essex County Council, Bouygues UK Ltd are undertaking essential works on the Northbound and Southbound carriageways of Velizy Avenue A1019 as part of the Harlow Sustainable Transport Corridor project.   

As part of these works, a road closure will take place in both directions of Velizy Avenue A1019, between the Water Gardens roundabout and the Velizy Roundabout. 

While working on the Northbound side, the Southbound carriageway will remain open and vice versa. We are unable to give specific times for the change from one to the other as it is dependent on work progress. As such motorists are encouraged to follow the diversion signs in place along the diversion routes which are in the images below. 

This closure will be in place for three nights, between the hours of 8pm to 5am, on Tuesday 22nd, Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th of April 2025. 

This closure is needed for electrical works to support traffic signal instillation along Velizy Avenue, with a closure in place to ensure public and workforce safety. Please note that these works are weather dependent, and dates may change subject to weather conditions.

Please note that there will be no access for vehicles during the closure period, but a clearly signed diversion route will be in place as per the maps detailed below. Every effort will be made to provide 
access for the Emergency Services during this closure. Access will be maintained for motorists needing to exit the multi-storey carpark on Velizy Avenue, with at least the northbound or southbound exit always remaining open. 

A certain amount of inconvenience is inevitable with work of this type, and we greatly appreciate your patience whilst the works are being undertaken. These works will unavoidably create some noise, and we will endeavour to keep particularly noisy operations to a minimum during these closure times. 

We apologise for any disturbance caused during this essential work and wish to assure you that we will undertake these works as efficiently and quickly as possible.
