Road Closure: QUEEN STREET — London

Queen Street in London is set to be closed to traffic from 12.16 on 08 August 2026, for a period of six days until 12.16 on 14 August 2026. The City of London Corporation, which is responsible for maintaining the highway, has announced the closure to facilitate urgent roadworks on the popular thoroughfare. Drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance to avoid any potential disruption.

The closure will affect traffic moving through Queen Street, with drivers being redirected via alternative routes. Motorists are recommended to use traffic apps and maps to find the most efficient alternative routes during the closure period. This will help to minimise delays and reduce congestion in the area. It is also a good idea for drivers to check for updates on traffic conditions regularly, as the situation may change during the course of the roadworks.

The City of London Corporation has implemented the closure to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians while the urgent roadworks are carried out. The exact nature of the work has not been disclosed, but it is expected to be a complex operation that requires the closure of the road to traffic. The City of London Corporation is working hard to complete the work as quickly as possible, but the six-day closure is necessary to ensure that the job is done properly and safely.

Drivers who are planning to use Queen Street during the closure period are advised to allow extra time for their journeys. They should also be prepared for potential delays and consider using alternative modes of transport, such as public transport or cycling. The City of London Corporation is working closely with Transport for London to ensure that alternative routes are well signed and that traffic flows smoothly in the area.

It is worth noting that the roadworks on Queen Street are part of a larger programme of maintenance and improvement works being carried out by the City of London Corporation. The authority is committed to maintaining the highway network in the City of London and ensuring that it is safe and efficient for all users.
