A series of road closures planning in the London borough of Hammersmith & Fulham could bring further travel misery to the commuting public, who are already suffering congestion from flooded roads and tube strikes.

North End Road will be closed in both directions from February 17 for four nights between 7pm and 4am, with the work finishing in the early hours of Friday morning. This is to allow the council’s contractor to resurface the carriageway between the A4 Talgarth Road and Fitzjames Avenue.

In North End Road, at the junction of Lillie Road, there will be essential works from March 1 to the 6 to unblock and replace old gullies, which will help drain away rain water and prevent flooding in the area.

This means a full road closure between Lillie Road and Bramber Road for six days. As this is one of the borough’s busiest roads, the council says it is extending working hours to 8am-8pm every day, so that the job is completed as quickly as possible.

On February 24 to 27 Wood Lane, formerly home to BBC Television Centre, will be fully closed from Du Cane Road to North Pole Road overnight for three nights, from 9pm to 5am the following morning.

On March 10 to 15 Shepherd's Bush Road will be fully closed from Hammersmith Broadway to Brook Green from 9pm to 4am for six days. Work will begin with one lane closure (though two-way traffic will still be maintained) from 7pm.

Resurfacing work means that there will be road closures or traffic lights in place at main roads in the borough, and there will be signed diversions and advance warning notices on approaching roads. The work could lead to possible delays, so motorists should factor in more time for their journeys.

Councillor Victoria Brocklebank-Fowler, H&F cabinet member for transport and technical services, said: “These road works are essential improvements that will help everyone in the borough in the long-term. This is about getting the basics right, making sure our road surfaces are easy to drive and cycle over, and banishing pot holes, which everyone hates.

“We know how important our roads are and these improvements will be carried out as quickly as possible, and with as little disruption as possible.”
