Road Closure: EASTERN AVENUE — London

Motorists in the London area are advised to plan their journeys in advance as Eastern Avenue in Ilford will be closed due to roadworks from 27 September 2027 at 21:00 to 01 October 2027 at 04:30. The closure, which is being carried out by Transport for London (TfL), is expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area. Drivers who normally use Eastern Avenue should consider alternative routes to avoid delays, and are encouraged to check traffic apps such as Google Maps or Waze for the latest updates on traffic conditions.

The roadworks on Eastern Avenue are part of TfL's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the road network in the capital. While the closure may cause some inconvenience to drivers, it is essential to ensure the long-term safety and efficiency of the road. TfL has planned the closure to take place overnight, when traffic volumes are lower, to minimise the impact on commuters and other road users. However, drivers who need to travel through the area during this time should still expect some delays and plan their journeys accordingly.

To avoid the closure, drivers can use alternative routes such as the A12 or the A406, which may add a few minutes to their journey time but will help them to avoid the disruption on Eastern Avenue. It is also a good idea to check traffic apps for updates on traffic conditions before setting out, as these can provide real-time information on congestion and roadworks. Additionally, drivers can tune into local radio stations for updates on traffic and travel, or follow TfL's social media accounts for the latest information on roadworks and closures.

TfL is working to complete the roadworks on Eastern Avenue as quickly as possible, and the closure is expected to be lifted by 04:30 on 01 October 2027. In the meantime, drivers are advised to be patient and to follow any diversion signs or instructions from traffic management staff. By planning their journeys in advance and using alternative routes, drivers can help to minimise the impact of the closure and reduce congestion in the area.
