Several road closures will disrupt residents of Harrow this month while major utility works are carried out. One is set to be carried out in eight phases and is expected to last eight months.
While one road closure will take place overnight, which will minimise disruption, others will last or have already lasted for months. The closures could cause traffic disruption for residents who may need to find an alternative route to get to their destination.
Below is a breakdown of the three major road closures both ongoing and planned that will be in force in January, according to Harrow Council’s website. There are also details of the diversion routes available to residents who may face disruption.
Drivers can expect delays while Buckingham Road in Harrow-on-the-Hill remains closed. Restrictions have been in place since December last year, and they mean vehicles are unable to enter or exit the western arm of Buckingham Road between its junctions with Whitchurch Avenue and Merlin Crescent while utility works are carried out.
Buckingham Road will be closed to vehicles between 9:30am and 3:30pm until March 9.

The restrictions are operational between 9.30am and 3.30pm and will remain in place until March 9. In the meantime, residents have been advised to use the diversion route via Whitchurch Avenue.
There are overnight restrictions on Kymberley Road, also in Harrow-on-the-Hill, which have been in place since December 9 and will continue until March 13. During this period, vehicles are not allowed to enter or exit Kymberley Road between its junctions with Headstone Road and College Road while utility works are carried out.
The restrictions are in operation from 8pm until 6am. Residents are advised to use the diversion routes via Pinner Road, Lowlands Road, Tyburn Lane, Peterborough Road, Station Road, and College Road until the restrictions are lifted.
Since June last year, Harrow View has been the subject of several road closures while major gas main renewals take place. The works are being carried out in eight phases and are expected to last 18 months.
