London Road Closed: Northway Circus

Motorists in the London area are advised to plan their journeys carefully as Northway Circus Service Road, located between Northway Crescent and Scout Way, will be closed to allow urgent works to take place. The disruption, which is scheduled to begin on 07 August 2026 at 09:53 and last until 10 August 2026 at 23:00, is being managed by the London Borough of Barnet, the local authority responsible for maintaining the area's highway network.

The closure of Northway Circus Service Road is expected to cause some inconvenience to drivers, particularly those who rely on the service road as a shortcut or alternative route to avoid main roads. As a result, drivers are advised to seek out alternative routes and to check traffic apps for the latest information on road conditions. Regular updates on traffic congestion and roadworks can be found on popular apps such as Waze and Google Maps, which use real-time data to provide drivers with the most up-to-date information.

In addition to using alternative routes, motorists are also reminded to check for up-to-date information on Road Closures UK, a website that provides comprehensive coverage of roadworks and closures across the UK. By planning their journeys in advance and checking for the latest information, drivers can help to reduce congestion and avoid unnecessary delays.

The works on Northway Circus Service Road are being undertaken to address an urgent issue that requires immediate attention. While the exact nature of the works has not been disclosed, the fact that the highway authority has deemed them to be of a high priority suggests that the disruption will be significant. Motorists are advised to be patient and to allow plenty of time for their journeys, as traffic congestion is likely to be heavy in the area.

For those who are reliant on public transport, it is worth checking with Transport for London (TfL) for the latest information on bus and train services in the area. Some services may be affected by the road closure, so it is essential to plan ahead and check for any updates before embarking on a journey.

While the closure of Northway Circus Service Road is likely to cause some disruption, the works are expected to be completed by 23:00 on 10 August 2026. By the end of the scheduled works period, drivers should be able to use the service road as normal again.
