Drone photos have captured works at Gallows Corner almost a year since the major junction shut completely.
The latest images taken on Sunday (May 31) show the ongoing water works around the new flyover, with two pits where exposed pipes were previously seen now filled with water.
In a third pit along the A127, a pipe remains exposed next to the lane of traffic exiting the flyover - which has been shifted to accommodate the works.

Cones remain across the length of the flyover and around the roundabout to mark which sections of the road remain closed.
This month marks a year since Gallows Corner shut to general traffic, on June 23, 2025.
The major junction partially reopened on May 10, including the eastbound carriageway of the flyover, Straight Road, and Main Road.

However, there is still no confirmed date for the full reopening, including the westbound lane of the flyover or the A12 southbound, which remains restricted to buses only.
TfL said all "significant" works as part of the Gallows Corner project have now been completed, but these sections of the junction need to remain closed to allow Essex & Suffolk Water works to continue safely.

Scott Haxton, TfL's director of capital delivery, previously said: "We know how frustrating this situation continues to be for local residents, businesses and road users, and we would like to thank everyone for their patience while we have been working with ESW to safely progress this work.
"We remain focused on fully reopening the road network at Gallows Corner and supporting ESW to complete final testing and commissioning works as quickly and safely as possible, while protecting vital water supplies."
The last TfL newsletter providing "monthly updates" for the project was published in March.
