Denzil Road in Willesden is expected to reopen towards the end of the month having been shut since June
Several road closures are set to disrupt residents of Brent this month while major utility and rail works are carried out, with streets in Sudbury and Harlesden to remain shut until next year. Harrow Road in Sudbury will shut to motorists on October 20 and remain closed until April 21, 2026, whilst Thames Water carry out major water works.
Denzil Road in Willesden is finally expected to reopen towards the end of the month having been shut since June 23. A segment of Harlesden High Street – the bus only section between Tavistock Road and the Harlesden Jubilee clock end of the road – will continue to remain shut whilst a carriageway reconstruction takes place and won’t reopen until February 28 next year.
Deliveries to local shops and businesses will be done from delivery areas outside the closure at the Tavistock Road end of the High Street during this period, according to Brent Council.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) has found all of the ongoing and planned road closures that are happening in October, 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.
Other major road closures throughout the month include Wharton Close in Willesden, which will close between October 10 and December 21 whilst water works take place. Meyrick Road, also in Willesden, will begin water works towards the end of the month and remain shut until early December.
