Several road closures are set to disrupt residents of Brent this month while major utility and rail works are carried out, with Willesden again particularly badly affected. The busy Wembley High Road is expected to be fully open again this month after extensive drainage works are completed, whilst other long-running closures are set to come to an end.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) has found all of the ongoing and planned road closures that are happening in May, according to one.network. Whilst some closures will only take place overnight, others will see roads shut 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 has been shut for vehicles since January 13 but is set to fully reopen by May 30. St Pauls Avenue in Willesden will close for an extended period at the end of the month (May 31) and won’t reopen again until the end of July whilst essential gas works are carried out.
Below is a breakdown of all the road closures both ongoing and planned that will be in force throughout May and beyond. Residents should look out for diversion routes to avoid facing substantial disruptions.
