Resurfacing is underway on the final sections of the new Gallows Corner flyover, the latest drone photos show.
Aerial images of Gallows Corner have captured the continued waterproofing and tarmacking of the new bridge, as the major project approaches its final month.
Resurfacing appears to have started on the ramp section along Southend Arterial Road (A127), however a gap remains in the middle.
The other ramp along Eastern Avenue East remains unfinished, while trucks from Bridgecare - a company which deals with expansion joint and waterproofing for bridges - can still be seen driving across the flyover.
Pits dug by Essex & Suffolk Water to allow for its "under pressure" connections of a new water pipe to the existing main are now starting to be filled in.
Gallows Corner is expected to reopen at the end of April, Transport for London (TfL) previously confirmed, however a specific reopening date has not yet been announced.
In its February newsletter update, TfL detailed which works still need to be completed at the bridge, roundabout and surrounding roads, including efforts to replace the damaged eastern support structure.
According to the newsletter, concrete has now been poured for this purpose, with final works to be completed shortly.
Upcoming works include further concrete pours on the flyover and approach ramps, continued waterproofing and road surfacing, and drainage installation.
Stuart Harvey, TfL's chief capital officer, previously said: "We're very sorry for the disruption caused by this essential work at Gallows Corner.
"We understand the impact this has had on people in the area and have worked with everyone involved to ensure that the work is carried out with the least amount of additional disruption.
"We're working hard to complete the remaining work as quickly as possible and would like to thank everyone in the area for their patience during this important work.
"This will ensure the flyover can serve people in the area for generations to come."
