Motorists in Letchworth Garden City are advised to plan ahead as Wilbury Close will be closed from 16 November 2026 at 00:00 to 18 November 2026 at 00:00. The closure, which is being carried out by Hertfordshire County Council, is due to major works and is expected to cause medium-severity disruptions in the area. Located near the city of Luton, Wilbury Close is a key route for many drivers, and the closure is likely to affect commuters and residents alike.

The reason for the closure is listed as major, with the works being categorised as PAA, indicating a significant project that requires a full closure of the road.

During this time, drivers are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays and congestion.

To minimise disruption, drivers are recommended to check traffic apps and plan their journeys in advance. Alternative routes can be found using online mapping tools, which can provide up-to-date traffic information and suggest the quickest routes to take. By leaving extra time for their journeys and being aware of the closure, drivers can help to reduce congestion in the area and avoid frustration.
