M11 Junction 8 Birchanger Green Roundabout, North and South Bridges National Highways will be carrying out essential repairs and resurfacing on the M11 junction 8, Birchanger Green Roundabout bridges to ensure the bridges continue to remain in a safe and serviceable condition.
The plan is to complete this work over 6 weekends between Friday 20 May and Monday 4 July, weather conditions permitting. No work will be carried out on Friday 3 June (Platinum Jubilee bank holiday).
Closures and diversions To carry out the work safely the M11 junction 8 bridges need to be closed. Only one of the bridges will be shut at a time to reduce the impact on local road users and those needing access to Stansted Airport and Birchanger Green Services.
Details of the closures and diversion routes are detailed below:
Maps of the diversions can be found attached.
How to find out more You can keep up to date with this project by visiting the website contacting National Highways, phoning 0300 123 5000, or emailing at info@nationalhighways.co.uk.
