Merrivale Road Closed

Motorists in the Southgate area are advised to plan their journeys accordingly due to upcoming roadworks on Merrivale. The works, which are scheduled to take place from 15 August 2026 at 00:00 to 19 August 2026 at 00:00, will cause disruptions to traffic on this stretch of road.

The London Borough of Enfield is responsible for the maintenance of Merrivale, and their team will be carrying out minor repairs to the highway during this time. While the severity of the disruption is classified as medium, drivers can expect delays and potential congestion in the area. The roadworks are expected to last for four days, and motorists are urged to use alternative routes to avoid the area if possible.

For those who must travel through the area, it is recommended to check traffic apps and websites for up-to-date information on congestion and road conditions. There are several alternative routes available in the area, including the nearby A10 and B182 roads. Motorists are advised to leave extra time for their journeys and to be prepared for potential delays.

The roadworks are scheduled to take place during the night, with the road expected to reopen each morning by 00:00. However, drivers should be aware that the road may be closed at short notice if the works are delayed or if any unforeseen issues arise. The London Borough of Enfield will be working hard to complete the repairs as quickly and safely as possible, but motorists should be prepared for potential disruptions.

In addition to checking traffic apps and using alternative routes, motorists can also stay informed about the roadworks by following the London Borough of Enfield's social media accounts or signing up for their email updates. This will provide the latest information on the roadworks and any changes to the planned schedule.
