Basildon Roadworks: A13 Drops to 40mph for 31 Days

Basildon borough sits between two of the busiest A-roads in Essex, and neither of them belongs to the council you pay council tax to. The A127 and A13 are Essex County Council’s; the streets are largely Essex County Council’s too. Basildon Borough Council runs the car parks. That split is why finding out what is shut can be harder here than it should be, so this page pulls the current Basildon roadworks picture together in one place, and sets out the parking tariffs and the bus gates that catch people out all year round.

Everything below was read from the statutory notices and the operators’ own records on Wednesday 23 September 2026.

Three things to plan around

• The A13 goes to 40mph for a month. From Thursday 1 October, a temporary 40mph limit covers 4,645 metres of the A13 Vange Bypass and Pitsea Bypass in both directions, from the Five Bells roundabout on-slip to the A13 underpass. The notice allows 31 days for it. Details below.
• The Vange Bypass shuts overnight this Friday. The A13 closes in both directions from 21:00 on Friday 25 September to 05:00 on Saturday, taking two slip roads with it.
• Buses replace trains at Pitsea tonight and tomorrow night. From 22:20 on Wednesday 23 and Thursday 24 September, there are no trains between Stanford-le-Hope and Pitsea. The last service from Fenchurch Street on that route is the 21:11.

Beambridge in Pitsea is still shut, and is scheduled to stay shut until Friday 2 October.

What is closed in the borough over the next three weeks

These are the temporary closures in Basildon borough running now or starting in the next three weeks, taken from the statutory notices published on the public notice portal. The “due to end” column is the last scheduled day, worked out from the start date and the number of days each notice allows.

Four to plan around.

• Beambridge in Pitsea is the worst of them, and it is running now. Twelve days from Monday 21 September, 395 metres from Pitsea Road to the end of the road, with no alternative route in the notice. The last scheduled day is Friday 2 October.
• Coxes Farm Road is the longest closure by distance, 1,325 metres between Outwood Farm Road and Southend Road, for three days from 28 September, diverted via Southend Road, Outwood Common Road and Outwood Farm Road.
• Cranfield Park Road in Wickford closes at the A127 end, 25 metres north of the junction, for five days from 5 October while Essex and Suffolk Water does replacement work. The signed route out is the A127, A1245, A129 and A132.
• Wickford Avenue in Pitsea is hit twice in a week. A 40 metre stretch at the Pitsea Road junction closes for the night of 7 October, and Pitsea Road itself closes the following night, both 19:00 to 04:00 for sign post replacement. Then a separate 275 metre stretch of Wickford Avenue, from the Steeplehall junction south east, closes for five days from 12 October for carriageway patching, with the way round signed via Pitsea Road, the B1474 and Rectory Road.

What has come off the list since 16 September

Three closures this page previously carried have now finished or are finishing today, and we have checked each one against its notice rather than leaving it up:

• Dunton Road between Little Burstead and Laindon, which ended on 16 September
• Bridgecote Lane in Noak Bridge, on its last of three days today
• the Stanford-le-Hope to Pitsea rail closure, which has one more night to run

One we could not pin down. A notice published on 17 September closes 40 metres of Falkenham End in Fryerns for three days of Openreach duct laying with no alternative route, but it gives the start date as 27 June 2026, a date that has already passed, while the order itself only takes effect on 24 September. We cannot say when that work will actually happen, so we have left it out of the table rather than guess (public notice portal, 17 September).

A month of 40mph on the A13 through Vange and Pitsea

This is the one most drivers in the borough will notice, and it was not in any press release. Essex County Council has made an order introducing a temporary 40mph speed restriction on the A13 Vange Bypass and Pitsea Bypass in both directions, running 4,645 metres from the Five Bells roundabout on-slip to the A13 underpass.

It is scheduled to start on Thursday 1 October and to run for 31 days, and the reason given is surveying work by the county council under permit EP20180668426 (public notice portal, 17 September). As with every Essex notice, the dates can move, with signs on the day and updates on one.network.

And one night that closes the A13 completely

The overnight closure of the A13 Vange Bypass on Friday 25 September, 21:00 to 05:00, is still on. We re-read the notice today. It is a long closure by borough standards, roughly 2,795 metres in both directions from the Five Bells slip road to Southend Road as far as the off slips at the Pitsea flyover, and it takes two slip roads with it:

• the Five Bells slip road to Southend Road, eastbound, for its last 36 metres to the A13
• the Pitsea bypass on slip from Broadway Link Roundabout to the A13 westbound, about 220 metres

The work is verge clearance by Essex County Council under permit EP2012410068, and the signed diversion runs via Broadway Link Roundabout, the A132, A1321, A176 and A13 (public notice portal, 27 August).

Seven rolling orders with no dates attached

Separately from the table above, Essex County Council keeps taking out rolling orders over borough roads. Each one lets the council shut the roads it lists in phases over up to 18 months, and none of them names a single date. The notices say the dates will appear on one.network instead, and that residents get a letter or leaflet drop and advance warning signs before each phase. These are the seven we have read, with the roads each one covers:

• No. 6, shared with Rochford district, effective 3 September: the A127 Southend Arterial Road from Nevendon Road to the A1245, about 5,520 metres, plus the eastbound on slip at Fairglen Interchange, and London Hill, Church Street and Bellingham Lane in Rayleigh.
• No. 9, from 30 July: phased closures on the A130 and A13 at Bowers Gifford.
• No. 10, from 30 July: Stock Road, The Knares and Bromfords Drive.
• No. 11, effective 27 August: Laindon Link from the roundabout to the start of the bus gate, plus Mellow Purgess Close and Monastery Road in Laindon, with no diversion available on any of the three. This is the order that can switch the Laindon Link bus gate off, and it is covered in the bus gates section below.
• No. 12, effective 3 September: the A127 slip roads at West Mayne and Nevendon, six of them, plus the Southend Arterial Road between the A127 off slip and the A132 at Nevendon and Ramsden Crays.
• No. 13, effective 10 September: Botney Hill Road at Little Burstead, 1,460 metres from Blind Lane to Tye Common Road, and Clay Hill Road in Basildon, 2,045 metres from Southernhay to Timberlog Lane.
• Streetworks SW13, the newest, advertised on 17 September and effective 24 September: carriageway resurfacing by County Route on the A130 New Bypass at Bowers Gifford and on through Rawreth, Shotgate and Rettendon. It covers about 5,255 metres southbound from the off slip to the A1245 Canvey Way, and about 5,510 metres northbound from the Canvey Way junctions back towards Rettendon, with the A1245 and A132 as the signed alternatives. The notice says only that the works start after 24 September, with exact dates on one.network (public notice portal, 17 September).

Two of these orders also introduce banned left turns, again with no dates. No. 12 bans the left turn from West Mayne into the A127 westbound slip road at Dunton Roundabout. No. 6 bans the left turn from Nevendon Road Bypass onto the A127 and from Chelmsford Road onto the A127. These apply only while the closure phases they belong to are in force, so the signs on the day are the only reliable guide. The No. 9 and No. 10 notices have now rolled off the portal’s live list, but each order runs for up to 18 months from the date it took effect.

One more rolling order is not a Basildon borough one, but its diversion comes through Billericay. Essex County Council’s Brentwood borough No. 10 order, effective 9 September, allows phased closures of Billericay Road at Herongate, about four miles west of Billericay in Brentwood borough, over 2,350 metres between Brentwood Road and Blind Lane. The signed alternative runs via the A128, Running Waters, Pondfield Lane, Hanging Hill Lane, the A129 and Tye Common Road, which is the Billericay end of that route and is itself due to close for two days from 1 October (public notice portal, 16 September).

Two more things in the 17 September notices

• A Billericay footpath shuts for six months. Footpath 23, Billericay closes from 1 October 2026 until 1 April 2027, from its junction with Frithwood Lane north east for about 660 metres, while a development is built. The notice says an alternative route is kept open inside the site behind Heras fencing, running from Frithwood Lane to footpath 23 south of Foxleigh Close.
• You have until 9 October to object to a parking change. Essex County Council proposes to remove 17 metres of zigzag markings on the south side of the A129 Southend Road, from a point about 25 metres east of Grange Road, and to extend the “no waiting at any time” restriction over that length instead. Objections quoting reference TRAF/8958 go to TrafficRegulation.Order@essexhighways.org by 9 October 2026, and the drawings are on the Essex Highways traffic regulation orders page.

Rail: nine days until the amended timetable runs out, and still no answer

c2c at Basildon, Laindon and Pitsea

c2c has been running an amended timetable since 25 August because Network Rail imposed multiple speed restrictions across its network. The prolonged dry weather shrank the clay under the track, the track dropped and became uneven, and the restrictions followed (Network Rail, 24 August). We set out what that means from each of the five borough stations in our story on the slower timetables.

The amended timetable is still only published to Friday 2 October, and nothing has been said about the day after. The industry’s live record was last updated at 08:28 on Monday 14 September, more than a week ago, and it still carries the same line (National Rail Enquiries):

• Journey planners hold the amended timetable up to and including Friday 2 October. In National Rail’s words, “it is not yet known what service will look for c2c on Saturday 3 October and beyond”.
• Trains towards London leave earlier than the old timetable. Services from Shoeburyness, Upminster, Pitsea and Grays depart at least six minutes earlier than normal, and services from London arriving at stations between Upminster and Shoeburyness arrive at least six minutes later.
• Your c2c ticket is valid on Greater Anglia between London Liverpool Street and Southend Victoria in both directions, at no extra cost, while this lasts.

Two things we can add today, both from c2c’s own alterations calendar rather than from any announcement. Network Rail’s extra overnight possessions have stopped for now: it took additional blocks on the four nights of 7 to 10 September and again on 14, 15, 16 and 17 September, each one headed “Additional Track Maintenance to Alleviate Speed Restrictions”, and none is published for any night since. And the calendar has no entry at all between Sunday 27 September and Sunday 4 October, so nothing has yet been booked into the week the current timetable expires. Neither of those is an announcement that the restrictions are lifting, and neither is confirmation that they are staying.

Tonight and tomorrow night: no trains between Stanford-le-Hope and Pitsea

Engineering work closes the line between Stanford-le-Hope and Pitsea from 22:20 on Wednesday 23 and Thursday 24 September, the last two nights of a four-night job that started on Monday. Replacement buses run between the two stations, trains start and terminate at Stanford-le-Hope, and on that route via Ockendon the last train from Fenchurch Street is the 21:11 and the last from Southend Central is the 21:28 (National Rail, c2c service alterations).

The dated c2c work after this week

These are from c2c’s own service alterations calendar. It is worth re-checking before you travel even for a date that has not moved, because c2c revises these entries in place.

• Sunday 27 September: no trains at all to or from Fenchurch Street. c2c services are diverted into Liverpool Street via Stratford, not calling at Limehouse or West Ham, and a shuttle runs between Upminster and Grays via Ockendon. Tickets are accepted on the DLR and the Jubilee line between Stratford and West Ham, and on the DLR between Stratford, Limehouse and Tower Gateway (National Rail).
• Sunday 4 October: buses replace trains between Basildon and Leigh-on-Sea and between Stanford-le-Hope and Pitsea, with trains starting and terminating at Fenchurch Street and Basildon. This is the one that takes Basildon station out of the through service. The two published versions disagree about what happens east of Leigh-on-Sea. National Rail says a shuttle train will run between Leigh-on-Sea and Shoeburyness (National Rail); c2c’s own calendar entry says rail replacement is in place all the way from Basildon to Shoeburyness. Check on the day before relying on a train east of Leigh.
• Monday 5 October: trains divert to Liverpool Street from about 20:45, and from 00:10 start or terminate at Barking or Upminster.
• Tuesday 6 October, from 00:15: services start or terminate at Liverpool Street, Barking or Upminster.
• Wednesday 7 October, from 20:45: trains divert to Liverpool Street, and from 22:45 they are diverted via Grays and do not call at Upminster, West Horndon, Laindon or Basildon. Shuttles run between Upminster and Pitsea via Laindon instead.
• Sunday 11 October: Liverpool Street services are diverted into Fenchurch Street, calling at West Ham but not Stratford.

Greater Anglia at Billericay and Wickford

The branch from Wickford out to Southminster is still running normally. Trains were off or slowed from Wednesday 2 September on a speed restriction over defective track, and National Rail closed that incident at 02:06 on Monday 14 September with the line: “Trains are now able to run as scheduled between Wickford and Southminster following emergency engineering work” (National Rail Enquiries). National Rail’s live list of unplanned disruptions carries nothing for the branch today.

Three dated items are published for the Billericay and Wickford line:

• Sunday 27 September, until 10:00: buses replace trains between Southend Victoria and Hockley, which matters if you are travelling on to Southend rather than to London (National Rail).
• Sunday 11 October and Sunday 18 October: until 09:45, and from 23:05 to the end of service, journey times between Shenfield and London Liverpool Street are extended by up to 15 minutes and trains depart up to 15 minutes earlier than usual, because Greater Anglia shares the remaining open lines with the Elizabeth line (11 October, 18 October). Every Billericay and Wickford train into London runs over that stretch.

One thing we could not confirm today, and it is the same one as last week. Greater Anglia’s own service alterations page loads, but it no longer publishes any dates at all, only a pointer to its booking engine. The absence of a Greater Anglia item there is therefore not evidence that there is nothing planned. Everything above comes from National Rail’s own incident pages instead.

The Wickford derailment

The 14 August derailment at Wickford is closed as an incident and open as an investigation. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch announced on 28 August that it is investigating the state of the track, how it was maintained, and how effective the industry’s hot-weather measures were (RAIB, 28 August). Our full report is here.

The A127 and A13: two big schemes, neither of them started

Most journeys out of the borough use one of these two roads, and both have a major improvement scheme attached that has not begun.

Fairglen Interchange: £59.2m committed, no start date

The A127 meets the A130 and A1245 at the Fairglen Interchange, at the Wickford and Rayleigh end of the borough, and it is the worst pinch point on any journey east. The scheme to fix it would build a new Southend Link Road letting drivers reach the A127 and Southend without going round the Rayleigh Spur roundabout, widen the slip roads, signalise the roundabouts, add a southbound lane and put in a pedestrian and cycle bridge south of the roundabout.

The money is committed: £38 million from Essex County Council, £15 million from the Department for Transport announced in February 2025, and £6.2 million from the South East Local Enterprise Partnership, or £59.2 million in total. A preferred contractor has been selected. But Essex County Council says “a number of complex issues are taking longer to resolve than anticipated, impacting the start date for the works on site”, and publishes no start date at all (Essex Highways).

What it means for you: do not plan around Fairglen improving. The junction will behave in 2027 exactly as it does now, and the design it is eventually built to was drawn for traffic levels up to 2036.

A127 Transport Improvements: still waiting on the Department for Transport

The separate A127 Transport Improvements scheme would realign the carriageway at the Fortune of War junction and add an extra eastbound lane between the Halfway House and Dunton junctions, with walking, cycling and bus stop improvements along the corridor. Essex County Council submitted a Strategic Outline Case to the Department for Transport’s Major Road Network fund in June 2024 and is still awaiting a decision on whether it can move to the next stage (Essex Highways). Public consultation, an outline business case, a planning application and a full business case all come after that decision, so construction is years away.

A13 westbound: finished

The resurfacing on the A13 westbound between the Pitsea flyover and the Five Bells roundabout is done. It ran over 14 nights in May 2026 with 21:00 to 05:00 closures, and Essex Highways confirmed completion on 2 June 2026 (Essex Highways). If you avoided that stretch overnight in May, you can stop.

Parking: the borough’s split personality

Here is the thing that surprises people who move here. Basildon Borough Council does not run a single car park in Basildon town centre. Its pay and display car parks are all in Billericay and Wickford. Basildon’s own town centre car parks, including Westgate Shopping Centre and the Great Oaks multi-storey, are privately managed, so their prices are set by their operators rather than by the council (Basildon Borough Council).

These are the council’s tariffs, which are the ones the council can and does change:

Three practical points from the council’s own terms:

• Free weekend parking is new. From April 2026 the council introduced four hours of free parking at several sites on Saturdays and Sundays. Where a maximum stay applies there is no return within two hours.
• Every council car park is cashless and ticketless. You pay at the terminal or through the MiPermit app; there is no coin slot and no windscreen ticket, and meter feeding is not allowed.
• Blue badge holders park free for up to three hours in every council car park, with no return within two hours, displaying a valid badge and clock. Motorcycles are welcome in any marked bay. Vehicles over two tonnes are not allowed, except coaches at Lake Meadows and the Wickford pool car park.

Outside the charging hours listed above, all six car parks are free. Radford Crescent is the exception worth remembering, because the barrier means you cannot get in after 18:00.

Bus gates: four cameras in Basildon

Essex County Council enforces bus lanes and bus gates by camera at four locations inside Basildon: Ghyllgrove, Laindon Link, Long Riding and Southernhay. All four are in the new town’s road network rather than in Billericay or Wickford, and all four catch drivers who are following a satnav rather than the signs.

Essex Highways publishes the traffic regulation order and photographs of the approach from each direction for every location, which is worth looking at before you drive an unfamiliar route through Basildon, and is the first thing to check if a penalty charge notice arrives.

One of the four is already switchable. Since 27 August, Essex County Council’s order for Laindon Link has been able to temporarily suspend the bus gate there, as set out in the Essex County Council (Laindon Link, Basildon) (Bus Gate) Order 2020, but only for the duration of each roadworks closure. A temporary “No Waiting, No Loading and No Stopping” restriction applies on both sides of the carriageway while those closures are in place, and signs will show when it is in force (public notice portal, 20 August). The suspension is not permanent and it is not continuous. Outside the closure phases the camera enforces as normal, so treat the signs on the day as the only reliable guide, and do not assume the gate is open because it was open last week.

Getting around without driving

• Trains. Five stations, two lines, and a fare gap of over £1,100 a year between them. Our Basildon trains to London page has the times, fares and last trains from all five.
• Station parking. Radford Crescent in Billericay is the borough’s council-run station car park at £8.50 all day, free at weekends. Wickford Main, next to the railway line, is also £8.50 all day.
• Reporting a problem. Potholes, broken street lights and blocked drains on the highway are Essex County Council’s, not the borough council’s. Report them through Essex Highways.

Frequently asked questions

What roads are closed in Basildon now?

As of Wednesday 16 September 2026, one road in the borough is shut: Dunton Road, between Little Burstead and Laindon, on the last of three days of Openreach pole testing. The Basildon Half Marathon closures on 13 September and the Castledon Road closure on 15 September have both been lifted.

The next closures to start are:

• Beambridge, Pitsea, 21 September to 2 October, for carriageway patching, with no alternative route
• Bridgecote Lane, Noak Bridge, 21 to 23 September, for carriageway patching
• Southend Road, Great Burstead, a single day on 24 September, for Anglian Water
• A13 Vange Bypass and two slip roads, overnight on 25 September, 21:00 to 05:00
• Coxes Farm Road, Great Burstead and South Green, 28 to 30 September, for carriageway patching

Five more follow between 1 and 9 October, in Billericay, Wickford and Pitsea. The full list, with the day each one is due to end and who is doing the work, is in the table above.

Separately, six Essex County Council rolling orders allow borough roads to be closed in phases for up to 18 months, including the A127 between Nevendon Road and the A1245, the A127 slip roads at West Mayne and Nevendon, and Clay Hill Road in Basildon. No dates are published with any of them. Newer road closures appear first on the public notice portal.

Are the trains from Basildon back to normal?

No. c2c has run an amended timetable since 25 August because of speed restrictions caused by dried-out clay under the track, and the amended timetable is only published as far as Friday 2 October. National Rail says it is not yet known what the service will look like from Saturday 3 October. Network Rail is taking extra overnight access to the Basildon line again on 16 and 17 September to remove some of the speed restrictions, so the last train from Fenchurch Street on both nights is the 20:27 and the last from Liverpool Street is the 23:20. Your c2c ticket is valid on Greater Anglia between Liverpool Street and Southend Victoria while this lasts.

Are the Wickford to Southminster trains running again?

Yes. The branch reopened on Monday 14 September. A speed restriction had been imposed on a section of defective track between the two stations on 2 September and an hourly replacement bus ran in place of the trains. National Rail closed the incident at 02:06 on 14 September, saying trains are “now able to run as scheduled between Wickford and Southminster following emergency engineering work”.

Is the Laindon Link bus gate being switched off?

Only in part. An Essex County Council order effective from 27 August suspends the Laindon Link bus gate, but only for the duration of each temporary closure under that order, and those closures are phased over up to 18 months with no dates published in advance. Outside those phases the camera enforces as usual. Follow the signs on the day.

When will the Fairglen Interchange work start?

There is no published start date. The full £59.2 million is committed and a preferred contractor has been selected, but Essex County Council says complex issues are still being resolved and has not set a date (Essex Highways).

Is parking free in Basildon at weekends?

In the council’s car parks in Billericay and Wickford, yes: from April 2026 they are free on Saturdays and Sundays, with a four-hour maximum stay at Billericay High Street, Wickford Ladygate and the Wickford pool car park. Basildon town centre car parks are privately run, so their weekend prices are set by their operators, not by the council.

How much is all-day parking in Billericay?

£8.50 at Radford Crescent, opposite Billericay station, Monday to Friday, with parking sessions only purchasable between 09:15 and 18:00 and no access after 18:00. It is free at weekends. Four hours costs £3.70.

Do I need coins for Basildon council car parks?

No. All six council car parks are cashless and ticketless. Pay at the terminal in the car park or through the MiPermit app.

Where are the bus gates in Basildon?

Essex County Council operates camera enforcement at Ghyllgrove, Laindon Link, Long Riding and Southernhay. Photographs of each approach and the traffic regulation order are published on Essex Highways’ page for each location, linked in the bus gates section above.

Closures and dates change at short notice. Check the public notice portal and the Essex Highways roadworks map before you set off. Every closure above was read from the statutory notice on 16 September 2026, and the rail position from c2c’s own service alterations calendar, National Rail Enquiries, Network Rail and the Rail Accident Investigation Branch the same day. Tariffs were read from the council’s own page in August 2026.
