Stapleford Abbotts Parish Council

Transport for London (TfL) have released the following information regarding the planned closure of Gallows Corner Flyover during Summer 2025.

‘From 21:00 on Monday 23 June until September 2025, there will be a full closure of Gallows Corner junction, both roundabout and flyover. This is while works are undertaken to renew and strengthen the flyover. Gallows Corner will be closed to all vehicle traffic, with only emergency vehicles, black cabs and TfL buses able to use the junction. Walking and cycling routes will be maintained.

No general traffic will be able to make journeys through Gallows Corner in any direction. This includes no access to or from the A127 Southend Arterial Road and A12 Colchester Road to the A12 Eastern Avenue or the A118 Main Road. Local diversion routes will be in place.

Roads in the local area to Gallows Corner junction and wider area are expected to be very busy. All vehicle journeys should expect to be disrupted for the duration of the closure.

Consider the following alternatives during the closure:

• For local journeys through the area, consider taking the bus rather than your car for a more direct journey to your destination
• For longer distance journeys that are non-stopping in the Gallows Corner area, use the M25 for the M11 or A13 to complete your journey
• For any journey during the closure, allow more time for your journey and where possible, travel outside peak times
• Always plan ahead and check before you travel

Access to businesses and shops in the area will be maintained during the closure.’
