Works on the next phase of transport infrastructure for the Harlow & Gilston Garden Town partnership (HGGT) started on Monday 11 May.
Funded by Homes England, the Central Stort Crossing North scheme will support the development of new communities and eventually connect to the recently completed improvements between Harlow Town Centre and Burnt Mill roundabout, as part of the wider HGGT sustainable transport network.
Construction updates – Works start along A414 / Zelenskyy Avenue
The works will commence with the installation of construction accesses off the A414 (Eastwick Road) to form safe access to working areas offline of the existing highway. This will be followed by improvements along the A414/Eastwick Road and along Fifth Avenue – Zelenskyy Avenue. In later phases, Eastwick Roundabout will be converted to a traffic signal-controlled junction for better traffic flow.
