TfL News Release

Transport for London (TfL) has appointed Amey to carry out carriageway resurfacing works along A12 ‘Hackney to M11 link Road’, between Green Man Interchange and the Lea Interchange.

The works will bring benefits to all road users by renewing the existing road surface to help eliminate cracks and potholes. Once completed, these works will also reduce the need for future large scale maintenance of this carriageway.

The works are scheduled to start on Sunday 20 May 2012 through to Sunday 26 May 2012 or when works are completed.

Work will start at 21:30 through to 05:00 for the duration of the work, working only Sunday to Thursday’s only.

As with all works on the Transport for London Road Network, we must balance possible disruption to residents with disruption to traffic.

Working at night provides us with the best chance to complete these works as quickly as possible with as little disruption as possible.

The resurfacing works will be completed in four phases:

Phase one, starting on Sunday 20 May 2012

• A full closure of the A12 southbound (on-slip road at the A12 Green Man interchange only) for carriageway resurfacing works. There will also be lane one and two closure of the A12 southbound carriageway between the Green Man interchange to Lea interchange for carriageway resurfacing works.

Phase two, starting on Monday 21 May and to Tuesday 22 May 2012

• Lane one and two closure of the A12 southbound carriageway between the west side of the Green Man interchange to the Lea interchange for carriageway resurfacing works.

Phase three, starting on Wednesday 23 May

• Lane two and three closure of the A12 southbound carriageway between the east side of the Green Man interchange underpass to Lea interchange for carriageway resurfacing works. The A12 southbound underpass will be closed, and will be carried out in conjunction with a scheduled TfL Structures Team closure, and require traffic to use the off-slip road to the Green Man roundabout, the south-eastern part of the Green Man Roundabout, and then the on-slip back onto the main A12.

Phase four, starting on Thursday 24 May and Sunday 27 May 2012

• Lane two and three closure of the A12 southbound carriageway, between the west side of the Green Man interchange to Lea interchange for carriageway resurfacing works.

There are no residential premises with accesses on the section of the A12. Any noisy operations will be completed before Midnight to help minimise any inconvenience caused to local residents. However, operational requirements may require some noisy operations to continue beyond this time.

There are no bus routes that use this section of the A12. Coach services will not be affected as the main A12 remains open with a single lane.

Please note:If required diversion route information signs will be provided and placed along the traffic diversion routes during the works. When the A12 westbound on-slip is closed, traffic wishing to access the southbound A12 will be diverted to the A406 / A12 Redbridge Roundabout, and return on the southbound carriageway A12 thorough to the Green Man underpass.

TfL’s London Streets Traffic Control Centre (LSTCC) monitor London’s roads 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with the responsibility of keeping London moving. The operators in the LSTCC will monitor this location during the works and if necessary remotely change the timing of our traffic signals to help ease congestion. TfL has worked closely with the London Borough of Waltham Forest of in order to reduce the impact of these works on road users, local people and businesses as far as possible.

I apologise in advance for any inconvenience that these essential works may cause. Should you require further information or an update during the delivery of these works, please contact our Streets Customer Services department on 0845 305 1234 or via our website at www.tfl.gov.uk/contact.
