Road Closure: GREAT WEST ROAD — London

Motorists in London are being warned of potential disruptions on the Great West Road in Brentford, where roadworks are scheduled to take place from 22:00 on 23 November 2026 to 05:30 on 28 November 2026. The works, being carried out by Transport for London (TfL), are expected to cause medium-severity delays, and drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance to avoid congestion. The Great West Road is a key route in and out of the city, and these roadworks are likely to affect commuters and locals alike.

TfL, the highway authority responsible for maintaining London's roads, has announced that the roadworks are part of standard maintenance and upkeep of the road network. While the exact nature of the works has not been specified, it is clear that they will have a significant impact on traffic flow in the area. Drivers who normally use the Great West Road should consider using alternative routes to avoid the disruption, and those who cannot avoid the area should check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions.

The roadworks are likely to cause significant delays, especially during peak hours, and drivers should allow extra time for their journeys. Those who are unfamiliar with the area may want to consider using a satnav or mapping app to find the best route, as traffic conditions are likely to be unpredictable. Additionally, drivers should be aware of any diversions or lane closures that may be in place, and follow the instructions of traffic management teams and signage.

In order to minimise disruption, TfL is likely to have put in place a range of measures to manage traffic flow, including diversion routes and temporary traffic signals. However, it is still important for drivers to be aware of the roadworks and to plan their journeys accordingly. By using alternative routes, checking traffic apps, and allowing extra time for their journeys, drivers can help to reduce congestion and minimise the impact of the roadworks.
