Lambs Lane South will be subject to similar controls between August 4 and 6, as will Birch Road.
On the M25, there will be a lane closure due to electrical works undertaken by Highways England.

Highways England will also be working on St Mary's Lane 8am - 5pm on August 9.
Travelling by train:
From 11.30pm onwards on Monday and Tuesday - August 2 and 3 respectively - services from London Fenchurch Street will be diverted to start from/terminate at either Barking or Upminster.
This is due to Network Rail doing track maintenance work, and will apply to both the Basildon and Rainham lines.
An amended timetable can be found here.
Changed timetables will be running across all three lines - Basildon, Rainham and Ockendon - on Friday (August 6).
Services from Barking to Grays via Rainham will not run on Saturday and Sunday (August 7 and 8).
This is due to Network Rail undertaking engineering work in connection with the Barking Riverside Project; rail replacement buses will run between Upminster and Grays.
The lifts remain out of order between platform one and the upper concourse/ticket hall of Upminster station.
The lifts will be out of order until further notice between platform one and street level at Dagenham Dock station.
