DELAYS are likely due to a road closure on a busy road which takes drivers towards the A12.

Appleford Bridge in Braxted Road, Rivenhall End, is fully closed due to maintenance works being carried out by Essex Highways.

This is following severe damage caused by a road traffic collision.

It is believed that a vehicle collided with the bridge on Monday, August 15.

A spokesman said: "If you witnessed the incident or have dashcam footage please email Green.Claims@essex.gov.uk. Thank you"

The road could be closed until October 28 due to the work on the bridge.
