There is slow traffic around Kensal Green as works to fix a burst water main in nearby Scrubs Lane continue into their second day on Monday (June 25).

Scrubs Lane was closed in both directions between Harrow Road and Waldo Road on Sunday morning (June 24) after the street was submerged in water.

Many Kensal Rise residents reported waking up to no water and low water pressure on Sunday morning, but according to those affected the supply returned to normal by noon.

While Scrubs Lane reopened northbound to traffic on Sunday it remains closed southbound at Harrow Road on Monday morning.

There is queuing traffic in Harrow Road towards Kensal Green due to traffic diversions and the 220 bus towards Wandsworth is not stopping in Scrubs Lane.

Thames Water worked through the night to fix the leak and warned residents repairs to the road would not be completed before Wednesday (June 27).

Scrubs Lane closed southbound at Harrow Road following flooding

Thames Water apologised to those affected.

A spokeswoman said: "We’re sorry for any disruption our ongoing work on Scrubs Lane is causing.

"We successfully repaired two leaking water pipes overnight on Sunday and since then have been working to restore the road surface to normal. We expect this to take until Wednesday during which time the southbound lanes from Harrow Road will remain closed.”
