I thought that Barking Road was going to become westbound only between Beckton Road and the roundabout, with eastbound traffic using the A13 slip road and a new road just west of Beckton Road which exits onto Barking Road opposite Hermit Road. Not sure where that idea came from but that isn't the case, the only "operational" change is that there will be no slip road to and from what is currently Canning Town Roundabout (won't be a roundabout when finished) to the A13 to and from the East. Veering off topic, but this was what was shown on the London Borough of Newham website at the time when Barking Road was closed westbound a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, I can't locate the plans again. Update: Just found the revised plans, and they are indeed as you say, though they are not what we were originally told would be happening. |

Barking Road was shut for works for six months from Jan 11 to June 11, I live local and have never been aware of plans to make Barking Rd one way as mentioned here. The quality of the road works around Canning Town are shocking! the new tar on Barking Road is already cracking and been dug up in places. |

Thanks. I know I've seen plans (possibly at work) as I described earlier. There would be no reason for me to raise the query otherwise.  |
