Buses in Watford High Street affected due to roadworks in Clarendon Road

Clarendon Road has been closed to all vehicles, including buses, just before the automatic bollards which lead into the High Street.

The closure came into force on Tuesday (June 1) and is set to last two weeks, according to a sign at the site.

Hertfordshire County Council says it is carrying out the essential work in partnership with Watford Borough Council.

The work involves the installation of a new drainage system, while there will be some maintenance carried out on the bollards.

As a result of the work, there is no access from Clarendon Road into Watford High Street, which means bus stop 'B', outside Wilko and Burger King, has been relocated.

The council says signs have gone up at the bus stop informing passengers of the temporary closure and which alternative bus stops to use.

According to a tweet from Intalink, stop 'B' passengers should instead alight for services at bus stops 'E' and 'F' in the High Street.

Road Closure: Clarendon Road, #Watford at the rising bollards. Tuesday 1st to Tuesday 15th June 24/7. Watford High Street Stop B will not be served. Please board and alight using stops F/E.

This work in Clarendon Road is separate to the roadworks at the other end of the street.

Clarendon Road is currently operating one-way only between Watford Junction and St Johns Road as part of an improvement scheme for the area.
