Portland Drive Cheshunt Closed

Portland Drive in Cheshunt will be closed to traffic from 14 August 2026 at 12:54 until 18 August 2026 at 12:54, with Hertfordshire County Council undertaking urgent repairs to the road. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative routes to avoid congestion.

The closure is expected to cause medium disruption to drivers, and commuters are urged to check traffic apps and websites for the latest updates before embarking on their journeys. While the works are ongoing, drivers will be unable to travel along Portland Drive, and access to nearby businesses and properties may be restricted. Motorists are advised to follow the diversion signs and allow extra time for their journeys.

Hertfordshire County Council is working to complete the necessary repairs as quickly as possible, and drivers are advised to check the council's website or social media channels for the latest updates on the roadworks. In the meantime, drivers are encouraged to plan their routes in advance and check for any other roadworks or traffic incidents that may be affecting their journey.

While the closure is in place, drivers are advised to take the A10 from Cheshunt to the A1(M) for a more direct route to London, or to use the A1(M) from Waltham Cross to join the M25 and then head towards the capital. Motorists are also advised to check for any other roadworks or traffic incidents that may be affecting their journey, and to allow plenty of time for their travel.

The works are part of a wider programme of maintenance and repairs being undertaken by Hertfordshire County Council to improve the condition of the county's roads. While the works are ongoing, drivers are advised to be patient and to follow the instructions of the traffic management team. If you're planning to travel through the area, we recommend checking the latest traffic updates before you set off.
