Traffic using several roads in the area is facing disruption due to temporary closures over the coming weeks.

A notice placed by Hertfordshire County Council in this week’s Watford Observer outlines the works that are set to affect roads in Bushey, Oxhey, Northwood, Rickmansworth and Watford.

An order to temporarily close a 20-metre section of Coldharbour Lane, in Bushey, is due to come into force from tomorrow due to gas connection works.

This will last for 18 months. However, the restrictions will only take effect at the times shown on road signs at the location.

This 18-month timescale and how the order will be implemented also applies to the following works, as long as the orders are approved.

An order for the closure of section of the A411 Chalk Hill, Oxhey, is due to come into force on Monday.

This will apply to a 30-metre section from the junction with the A4008 Aldenham Road eastwards to the junction with Villiers Road.

The 70-metre length of Batchworth Lane, Northwood, from its junction with the A4125 Sandy Lane south westwards could also be affected by roadworks from Monday.

The following day an order to close a section of Louvain Way, in Watford, is due to come into force.

This will impact its northernmost junction with Weal Green south eastwards to its junction with Poplars Close.

Vehicles will be prevented from using a section of Old Chorleywood Road, apart from access whenever possible, due to utility service works. This order is due to come into place on February 15.

Part of Harefield Road, Rickmansworth, may also close from the same date to allow for utility service connection works.

The closure will affect that length of Harefield Road from its junction with the access road leading to Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate north westwards and south eastwards for approximately 300 metres, except for access.

Two sections of the B462 Aldenham Road, Bushey, may also be shut from the same day due to the replacement of a gas main.

The areas affected will be the from the road’s junction with Belmont Road north eastwards and south westwards for around 50m, and from the junction with The Avenue/Bushey Hall Road roundabout south westwards for approximately 85m.
