Road Closure: CHERTSEY ROAD — London

A major disruption is expected to affect commuters in the London area, as Chertsey Road in Twickenham will be closed from 23 November 2026 at 20:00 to 27 November 2026 at 05:00. The closure, which is being implemented by Transport for London (TFL), is due to major planned maintenance and will likely cause medium-severity delays for drivers. Chertsey Road is a key route in the area, and the closure is expected to have a significant impact on traffic flow, particularly during peak hours.

The highway authority has advised drivers to plan their journeys in advance and to use alternative routes where possible. Drivers are encouraged to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions before setting out, as this will help them to avoid the area and minimize delays. TFL is working to minimize the disruption, but drivers should still expect significant delays, particularly during rush hour. The authority is also reminding drivers to follow diversion signs and to drive safely, as the closure may cause confusion and congestion.

The closure is part of a major maintenance programme being carried out by TFL, which aims to improve the condition and safety of the road network in the London area. While the work is essential, it is likely to cause inconvenience for drivers, and TFL is apologizing for the disruption. The authority is working to complete the work as quickly as possible, but the closure is expected to be in place for several days. Drivers are advised to check for updates on the TFL website and to plan their journeys accordingly.

In addition to using alternative routes, drivers can also help to minimize delays by avoiding the area altogether, particularly during peak hours. This will help to reduce congestion and make it easier for TFL to complete the maintenance work. Drivers are also reminded to follow all diversion signs and to drive safely, as the closure may cause confusion and congestion. By planning ahead and taking alternative routes, drivers can help to minimize the impact of the closure and reduce their journey times.
