Road Closure: LONSDALE ROAD — London

Motorists in London are advised to plan their journeys in advance as Lonsdale Road in Barnes will be closed for roadworks from 17 August 2026 at 07:00 to 21 August 2026 at 17:00. The closure, which is being carried out by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, is expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area. Drivers who regularly use Lonsdale Road should consider alternative routes to avoid delays, and check traffic apps such as Google Maps or Waze for the latest updates on traffic conditions.

The roadworks are part of the standard maintenance programme undertaken by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames to ensure the road network remains safe and well-maintained. While the closure may cause some inconvenience to drivers, it is essential to carry out these works to prevent more significant problems from developing in the future. The highway authority has planned the closure to take place during a period when traffic is generally lighter, but drivers should still allow extra time for their journeys and consider using alternative modes of transport, such as public transport or cycling.

Drivers who need to travel through the area during the closure are advised to plan their routes in advance, using alternative roads such as the nearby Castelnau or Rocks Lane. It is also a good idea to check for updates on traffic conditions before setting out, as traffic volumes can change quickly, especially during peak hours. By taking a few minutes to plan ahead and consider alternative routes, drivers can help to minimise delays and reduce the risk of congestion in the area.

The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames is responsible for maintaining the road network in the area, and the authority is working to complete the roadworks as quickly as possible to minimise disruptions to drivers. The closure is expected to be lifted by 17:00 on 21 August 2026, but drivers should check for updates before travelling, as the completion date may be subject to change.
