Warning for those driving to the match today via Sadlers Farm junction.....

[OldBlueLady]

For the second weekend in succession, work is going on at Sadlers itself and the junction is operating as a traditional (left hand turn only) roundabout. It's causing huge congestion in the area so if you've not left already and usually go that way, maybe you might want to think about alternatives or leaving a bit earlier than normal. Wondering if the Plymouth supporters are going to get caught up in it too....

Last Sunday it only seemed to cause congestion in the London bound direction.

Still, why take a chance.

Thanks for posting this OBL but wish I'd read this before I left South London. Took me 2 hours to get to Southend today probably adding an extra 45 mins coz there was traffic everywhere en route.

Sorry, had only just found out myself from a friend who had been at the boot sale at Sadlers and dropped off some groundsheets she'd borrowed. I said last week, they ought to put signs up on the Friday before warning motorists cos it was just manic last weekend. Thing is last week, it returned to its normal status during the week again, presuming it'll do the same tomorrow.

Yeah to be honest I never check roads for problems before I leave anyway. It would have been complete pot luck if I'd decided to cut through Basildon and get on the A127 earlier as I do sometimes. To be honest yesterday I hit traffic everywhere I turned so don't think it would have been much better.
