@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

[Les Master @themasterles]

@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

[Les Master @themasterles]

@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

[Les Master @themasterles]

@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

[Les Master @themasterles]

@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

[Les Master @themasterles]

@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

@BrentwoodTownFC Was a great day loved every minute

[Les Master @themasterles]

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

[Les Master @themasterles]

@cbowtrafsol @essexhighways Could have been some emergency utility works

I believe it reopened earlier this afternoon

[Les Master @themasterles]

@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

[Les Master @themasterles]

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

[Les Master @themasterles]

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

[Les Master @themasterles]

@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

[Les Master @themasterles]

@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

[Les Master @themasterles]

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

[Les Master @themasterles]

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

[Les Master @themasterles]

@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

[Les Master @themasterles]

@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

[Les Master @themasterles]

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