4 April 2025 Press Release

Harlow STC road closures on Fifth Avenue - Zelenskyy Avenue A1019 and Gladwin Way

On behalf of Essex County Council, Bouygues UK Ltd are undertaking essential works on Fifth Avenue - Zelenskyy Avenue A1019 and Gladwin Way as part of the Harlow Sustainable Transport Corridor project.

As a result of these works, the following closures will be taking place: 

  • Fifth Avenue - Zelenskyy Avenue A1019 will be closed in both directions between Burnt Mill Roundabout and Sainsbury’s Roundabout. This closure will begin at 8pm on Friday of 11th of April, with Fifth Avenue - Zelenskyy Avenue reopening in full by 5am on Monday 14th April 2025.
  • Gladwin Way will be closed at the junction of Fifth Avenue - Zelenskyy Avenue A1019, from 8pm on Friday 11th of April for a period of up to four weeks.

The road closure on Fifth Avenue - Zelenskyy Avenue A1019 is required to carry out drainage installation and surfacing works on both the northbound and southbound carriageways, with a full closure in both directions needed to ensure both the safety of the public and workforce. The road closure on Gladwin Way is required to carry out the remodelling of the junction and the footpath. Please note that these works are weather dependent, and dates may change accordingly.

Due to open excavations across the carriageway, there will be no access for vehicles, aside from the emergency services. However, there will be clearly signed diversion routes during these works, with a map detailing the closure location and diversion routes detailed below. 

A certain amount of inconvenience is inevitable with work of this type, and we greatly appreciate your patience whilst the works are being undertaken. This work will unavoidably create some noise, but we will endeavour to keep particularly noisy operations before 22:00 hours each evening. 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.
