About the scheme

As part of the planning conditions for the 'Chelmer Waterside Peninsular' development (planning reference 16/01630/FUL), Taylor Wimpey are required to carry out highway works to improve vehicle capacity, journey times and provide formal pedestrian crossing facilities to enable the public to navigate the junction more safely.

Works support the installation of new traffic signals, improving pedestrian crossing points, road widening and upgrading drainage and street lighting at the Springfield Road/Navigation Road junction.

Highway works relating to this scheme will be carried out in a number of phases, with traffic management varied according to activities being carried out to minimise inconvenience to residents, businesses and the travelling public as much as reasonably practical.

How it will affect you

These works began on 2 April 2024 and are now substantially complete.  Some minor carriageway incursions remain necessary for a limited period in July 2024, while outstanding activities continue to complete the scheme. 

• Pedestrian access through the junction and to premises will be maintained throughout. 
• Vehicular accesses will be maintained to properties within the works, however temporary accesses may be necessary during various stages of the scheme.
• Drivers are recommended to take additional care and to allow extra time when driving through the area, observing signage in place. 

Passenger Transport

Bus operators will be informed of the work programme so they can consider adjustments to their services if appropriate.
