WAYSIDE, East Sheen road closed due to urgent works

A section of Wayside in East Sheen, London, is set to be closed until 12 August 2026 due to urgent roadworks. The road is expected to be closed from 13:14 on 10 August 2026 until 13:14 on 12 August 2026. The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames is responsible for the works, which have been deemed a medium-severity disruption.

The closure is likely to cause significant disruption to drivers, particularly during peak hours. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance, using alternative routes to avoid the area. Checking traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, can help drivers find the most up-to-date information on traffic conditions and road closures.

Wayside residents and businesses are also advised to check for updates on the planned roadworks and any potential diversions. The highway authority will work to minimise the disruption caused by the road closure, but drivers should be prepared for delays.

The roadworks are taking place on a section of Wayside, a key thoroughfare in the area. The closure is expected to impact drivers travelling to and from nearby destinations, including East Sheen and the surrounding areas. Motorists are urged to exercise caution when travelling through the area and to follow the directions of any traffic management measures in place.

While the road closure is in place, drivers are advised to consider using alternative routes, such as the nearby A205 or A3. These roads may be busier than usual, but they can help drivers to avoid the closed section of Wayside. Drivers should also be aware of any traffic management measures, such as temporary traffic lights or lane closures, which may be in place to direct traffic safely through the area.

Drivers are also advised to allow plenty of time for their journeys and to check for updates on traffic conditions before setting out. Road Closures UK will provide regular updates on the status of the roadworks and any changes to the planned closure.
