We have received the below from TFL with regards to Gallows Corner
I am writing to let you know we will soon begin work to the Gallows Corner flyover.
We will shortly begin work in preparation for a full closure of the junction in the summer to allow this vital project to take place. We have worked closely with our partners to minimise disruption as much as possible and will be closely monitoring roads and bus routes during work to ensure Londoners can continue to travel.
From September a final phase of mostly night-time works will follow to reinstate the road surface, road markings and street furniture. We will write again closer to the time to update you on those works.
How we are carrying out the work
The following temporary changes will be made to help complete these works quickly and with as little disruption as possible, but long queues and delays to journeys are expected. advice will be available at https://tfl.gov.uk/gallows-corner.
The most impactful phases have been planned to coincide with the summer period when roads are traditionally quieter.

24hrs per day, 7 days per week |
Our working hours are 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. There will be overnight closures needed throughout the work. Some noise is unavoidable during this work but we will do our best to keep the noisiest elements to the daytime.
Walking routes and bus journeys
Pedestrian and emergency service access will be maintained at all times. Pavements and pedestrian crossings will remain open wherever possible. Any temporary closures or diversions will be signed, and pedestrian access will not be affected.
No changes to bus services are planned for the initial phase of works commencing 10 March. Bus users are advised to plan ahead and leave more time for their journey. Information on bus service changes for future phases of works will be available in due course. Please visit tfl.gov.uk/bus/status for live updates.
Keeping customers informed
We’ve worked closely with Havering Council and other key stakeholders such as National Highways to ensure that the roundabout remains open as much as possible and that the length of time the roundabout and flyover need to be fully closed is kept to a minimum.

Keeping assets like Gallows Corner flyover in good, reliable order allows through-traffic and the many larger vehicles that use them to avoid local roads. This keeps local roads safer and more attractive for local communities and those making bus journeys, walking or cycling.
