The long-planned repair work to the footbridge across the railway tracks at the end of the High Street is set to take place this weekend, spelling disruption for motorists and pedestrians alike.
The road bridge that runs alongside the footbridge, will be closed from 8pm on Saturday evening until 8am Sunday morning, in order to accommodate two cranes that will lift its pedestrian counterpart from its position straddling the train tracks.
"bus service"
In road terms traffic will be diverted from Stock Road via St Andrews Drive and Norsey Road, but the work will also lead to a lenghty walk for pedestrians travelling between the station and the High Street, with a bus service arranged to ease the situation.
Essex County Council have indicated a similar arrangements will be adopted on the 2nd Augustm=, when the bridge is due to be returned to its position.
