Three lanes each way would be provided, with a temporary dual two-lane flyover at Lodge Avenue Roundabout (still standing) and traffic lights at Renwick Road (since removed).<br /> <br /> This file, being in MT 139, is mainly about land acquisition, but contains the inspector&#039;s report from the public inquiry, and has some interesting explanatory information about what the scheme was hoping to do and why it was being promoted and funded when the MOT&#039;s longer term aspiration was to bypass this whole length with a new road to the south. (The short answer is that the bypass was a long term plan, the congestion was very bad, and this was cheap.)<br /> <br /> There are less wordy and more planny materials on the same subject in the following two files.<br /> <br /> ==Links to other files==<br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;[[MT 139/454]]&#039;&#039;&#039; London Borough Council of Barking: London - Tilbury trunk road; improvement from Saxham Road to Renwick Road (1969-1970)<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;[[MT 139/455]]&#039;&#039;&#039; London Borough Council of Barking: London - Tilbury trunk road; improvement from Saxham Road to Renwick Road; compulsory purchase order (1969-1971)<br /> <br /> ==People with camera copies==<br /> None known.</div>
