Several road closures are set to disrupt residents of Brent this month while major utility and rail works are carried out. A busy road in Wembley is set to be shut for a period of 18 weeks whilst urgent drainage works are carried out.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) has found all of the ongoing and planned road closures that are happening in January, according to one.network. Whilst some closures are only for a few days at a time, others are set to close roads for weeks or even months at a time. The closures could cause traffic disruption for residents who may need to find an alternative route to get to their destination.
Major closures include that of Wembley High Road, which will shut for vehicles from Jan 13 for a period of around 18 weeks for urgent drainage repair works. The works are expected to be complete by mid-May. Lydford Road in Willesden will reopen at the end of the month, having been shut since mid-November for water works.
Below is a breakdown of all the road closures both ongoing and planned that will be in force in January. Residents should look out for diversion routes to avoid facing substantial disruptions.
