The north London route is slated for the summer of closures for a 54-week program UK News

Residents and motorists on a north London road face prolonged disruption due to a major road works program that is expected to last more than a year.

A notice from the London Borough of Barnet in this week’s edition of Barnet borough hours details plans to temporarily close Hamilton Road NW11 in four phases, starting Friday, July 16, to replace lead piping.

The temporary closures are expected to last until September, but the work is expected to last a total of 54 weeks.

The closures are planned as follows:

Hamilton Road between its junctions with Woodstock Avenue and Montpelier Rise – July 16 to August 12. The detour will be via Woodstock Avenue, Sandringham Road, Montpelier Road and vice versa.

Hamilton Road between its junctions with Montpelier Rise and Elmcroft Crescent – August 12-25. The detour will be via Montpelier Rise, Montpelier Way, Elmcroft Crescent and vice versa.

Hamilton Road between its junctions with Elmcroft Crescent and Woodville Road – from August 25th to September 1st. The detour will be via Elmcroft Crescent, The Drive, Woodville Road and vice versa.

Hamilton Road between its junctions with Woodville Road and Highfield Avenue – September 1-7. The detour will be via Woodville Road, St Mary’s Road, Highfield Avenue and vice versa.

Prior to that, a 25-day shutdown in Highview Avenue HA8 is due to begin Monday for gas line replacement work.

During this period, the vehicles:

Be prohibited from entering Edgware Way from Highview Avenue.

You will be prohibited from entering the northernmost section of Highview Avenue from Highview Avenue (southernmost section from its junction with Highview Gardens) or Highview Gardens.

A one-way traffic system will also be introduced, north to south, on Highview Avenue, between its junctions with Edgware Way and Highview Gardens, so that vehicles only travel southbound.

The alternate route for motorists will pass through Highview Avenue, Hale Lane and The Grove.

A section of The Drive NW11 is also expected to be closed for five days for new water hookup work starting July 19.

This will apply between the junctions with Limes Avenue and Beverley Gardens, and the detour will be via Beverley Gardens, Golders Green Road, Limes Avenue and vice versa.
