A new £1M bypass was due to be officially opened today.
The road means traffic travelling to Harwich International Port will not have to go through Parkeston village.
Peter Morton, chief operating officer of port owners Hutchison Ports (UK), and Anthony Peel, chairman of Essex County Council, were due to cut the ribbon to officially open the road.
Parkeston bypass was opened weeks ahead of schedule last month, with the final stage taking four months to build.
