Road Closure: ROMAN ROAD — London

Motorists in London are being advised to plan their journeys in advance as Roman Road in London will be affected by roadworks on 12 August 2026. The works, which are being carried out by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, will take place between 07:00 and 17:00, and are expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area. The roadworks on Roman Road are classified as minor, but drivers should still expect some delays and congestion, particularly during peak hours.

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets, the highway authority responsible for the maintenance of Roman Road, has scheduled the roadworks as part of its ongoing efforts to improve the condition of the road network in the area. While the works are necessary to ensure the safety and quality of the road, they will inevitably cause some inconvenience to drivers who use Roman Road regularly. To minimize the impact of the disruption, drivers are advised to use alternative routes wherever possible, and to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions before setting out.

Drivers who normally use Roman Road should consider using other routes to avoid the area altogether, at least between 07:00 and 17:00 on 12 August 2026. This will not only help to reduce congestion and minimize delays, but also ensure a safer and more efficient journey. By planning ahead and using alternative routes, motorists can help to reduce the impact of the roadworks on their journey times and avoid frustration. Additionally, drivers can use traffic apps and websites to get real-time updates on traffic conditions, which can help them to make informed decisions about their route and avoid areas of congestion.

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is working to complete the roadworks as quickly as possible, and to minimize the disruption to traffic in the area.
