Motorists in Harlow are facing disruption due to a number of planned temporary closures for roadworks.

A notice from Essex County Council in this week’s edition of the Guardian details proposals to shut 11 roads or roundabouts in the town in a phased fashion, potentially from the middle of this month.

The order, if made, will take effect from March 17, but all temporary closure orders are valid for up to 18 months and exact dates when the works will take place will be specified on the one.network website.

In addition to the closures, a temporary 30mph speed limit will be introduced on the affected lengths of roads, along with ‘no waiting, no loading and no stopping’ restrictions.
