@JohnHal75174634 @essexhighways The issues are largely down to emergency works that have sprung up by utility companies on several roads this week responding to infrastructure faults which is outside essex highways control

@essexhighways you need to get your act together with all these roadworks people are loosing the will to live sitting in traffic for hours where you set up roadworks on diversion routes! Create new road systems which will not work in a million years Clingoe hill 3 lanes into 1 !!

@Tim4Labour @SonicUtd @MartinGossCol @essexhighways The situation has been made much worse by the various emergency works by UK power networks in lexdon road and magdalen street and to a lesser extent Bergholt road Otherwise the congestion issues may not have been so serious

@SonicUtd @MartinGossCol @essexhighways We speak up all the time but, ultimately, it’s @essexhighways who have the power and they seem to not care about disrupting Colchester’s roads and making local people’s lives miserable.

@MartinGossCol @Tim4Labour I’m not sure who on our council can speak for all of us road users in #Colchester but please can you find out and pass these messages on? We’ve had enough, Clinghoe Hill takes 45 mins to get down, Tye Road is closed now. WE ARE GRIDLOCKED EVERY DAY 😡

@ianb74 @essexhighways Not much that can be done about power issues across various parts of the city which is why uk power networks have temporary lights on three key roads Otherwise things might just have been manageable

I see the crayon munchers at @essexhighways have made a complete mess of #colchester again. Is anyone there employed because of their knowledge of the job?? Utterly useless morons.

@Colchesterviews @Essex_CC @essexhighways @CadentGasLtd @UKPowerNetworks As advised the ukpn works are all emergency ones which is largely why things have been so bad this week Although would question why the mile end gas works started before the main works nearby are yet to finish unless cadent were unable to delay these planned works any longer

If you’re expecting someone for dinner in #Colchester soon, keep it warm. What an absolute disgrace this place has become. Hey @essex_cc, @essexhighways @CadentGasLtd @UKPowerNetworks you are all doing us dirty. Every part of town has major works. Where are our politicians?

@SaraCheeld @Colchesterviews @Essex_CC @essexhighways @CadentGasLtd @UKPowerNetworks Unfortunately power cables in this case tend not to look at school calendars when they decide to play up along with gas and water mains etc

@Colchesterviews @Essex_CC @essexhighways @CadentGasLtd @UKPowerNetworks 2 weeks Easter holiday & they choose today to dig up Lexden Rd by all the secondary schools. Couldn’t plan a p**s up in a brewery.

@bear_pause @Colchesterviews @Essex_CC @essexhighways @CadentGasLtd @UKPowerNetworks Most of the problems stem from the emergency works in lexdon road and magdalen street both by @UKPowerNetworks although not clear if just a coincidence or a wider power issue in Colchester at the moment unless they can clarify

@Colchesterviews @Essex_CC @essexhighways @CadentGasLtd @UKPowerNetworks At times of massive disruption like this, someone will be out with an air quality meter, furiously blaming car drivers for all of this chaos... Rather than blaming the council and highways for orchestrating this mayhem.

@BrentwoodTownFC Was a great day loved every minute

🏆 ISTHMIAN NORTH CHAMPIONS 🏆 After two play off final defeats in three seasons, it’s finally our turn for promotion! You’ve followed near and far, thank you Blues fans! 🫡 #ArdensFide | #OneBrentwoodTown 🩵🧡

Best to ring the emergency line on 03456037631 to see if someone can assist or contact those involved with the traffic management to sort out

@cbowtrafsol @essexhighways Could have been some emergency utility works I believe it reopened earlier this afternoon

@essexhighways why has North Hill been closed with diversions in place. The local community have not been informed of this closure and there is nothing on ECC's live roadworks page?

@iam4rjk @FirstEssex Nothing to do with first buses and the mile end road works are cadent led not Essex highways although certainly unfortunate these works have begun at this time The Bergholt road works are emergency works to fix a faulty power cable so not much can be done for those situations

@FirstEssex The whole area is a complete joke. You shut off Mile End Road, put roadworks in Bergholt Road along with the saga of the useless Northern Approach road all at the same time. Only the incompetent Essex Highways could oversee this shambles.

@Essex_Travel Not due to roadworks but due to an Easter market

Wickford – High Street slow moving traffic in and around the high street due to road works

@Essex_Travel That will cause huge problems in Chelmsford on Monday morning and probably for a few more days after that

Chelmsford - slow moving traffic on New London Road between Parkway and Writtle Road and surrounding roads due to the ongoing incident between Anchor Street and New Writtle street

@Essex_Travel @BBCEssex Queues on a130 also leading to congestion through Wickford as traffic turns off at rettendon and head through town to reach a127

@Essex_Travel Knock on effects of partial closure of m25 a12 brook street roundabout as traffic comes off a12 early and comes down a130 to get to a127 or a13 to reach m25 Delay on a130 now all the way back to rettendon @BBCEssex

A130 South Bound - slow moving traffic between Rettendon Turnpike and the Fairglen Interchange A1245/A127 A1245 Southbound - slow moving traffic between London Road (A129) and the Fairglen Interchange (A127)

@BMLSTHolder @Essex_Travel No rush hour at weekends with the busiest periods all during the day

Good morning – ETCC is now open, and we will update you throughout the day with live Essex traffic information

@bususer1958 @FirstEssex I think they are referring to althorn which is just along the road from Latchingdo

@FirstEssex Althorne is a village. Is the whole village "closed"?

@Teldeb @essexhighways Councils have no power if a utility company has to make emergency repairs apart from to ensure the traffic management is proportionate to the issue and if any ways of improving traffic management can be implemented such as manually controlling temporary lights in peak periods

@Teldeb @essexhighways Not my office as I dont work for essex cc Many of the issues in recent weeks were utility based such as the emergency water main repairs near Wilsons Corner plus thames water repairing a collapsed sewer in the high street and right now the issues with a gas leak on kings road

@essexhighways Today is the Brentwood Marathon, multiple road closures. What moron authorized roadworks on the only diversion, Ongar rd today? And no one even working? Why don't you get out of your chairs and come and see the mayhem you have caused in Brentwood for months!

@BW_Times Except its not on the a12 at all albeit most of the slip roads are closed

Police at the scene of serious collision on A12 near Chelmsford ift.tt/Wx517iQ
