shows the as far as I know unnamed road alongside the A406 from (more or less) Highbridge Road nearly to Jenkins Lane. The road has been built for some time, complete with zebra crossings, bus stop bays and (notoriously) "no entry except buses" signs towards the southern end. I have mentioned this particular solecism several times but to no avail as yet.
Anyway the road stopped at the borough boundary with Newham and for some years there has been a tantalising gap of a few yards between the end of the new road and Jenkins Lane, but when I was there today there was a mechanical digger on site and although I haven't confirmed this it must be the start of works to complete this road and make a link from Barking Town Quay to Jenkins Lane and the Showcase Cinema complex. As to the "no entry except buses", far be it from me to suggest civil disobedience by people cycling.
