Motorists in Chelmsford city centre will face disruption early next year when work finally starts on a major new retail development in Chelmsford that will include John Lewis
The Bond Street car park will be closed from midnight on January 3.
John Lewis, Ask Italian, burger chain Byron, American bar Coast to Coast and Goldsmiths jewellery will be part of the Aquila Holdings development.
Councillors first granted the proposal permission two years ago, and the project was orginally scheduled to be completed by autumn this year.
The £120 million project, estimated to bring £67 million to the local economy and create 450 jobs, will also include a brand new 275-space underground car park.
It is due for completion in Autumn 2016.
