Motorists in Watford are facing disruption due to the temporary closure of a busy road for more than two weeks from the start of August.

A notice from Hertfordshire County Council in this week’s edition of the Watford Observer states it intends to make an order to close Cassio Road for utility works.

Motorists are set to be prevented from using the road from its junction with Upton Road south-eastwards to its junction with Marlborough Road, a distance of approximately 114m.

The one.network website says the closure is due to start on August 2 and is expected to last until August 20.

The alternative route will be via Cassio Road, A412 Rickmansworth Road, the Ascot Road roundabout, A412 (Rickmansworth Road/St Albans Road), A411 (Beechen Grove, Exchange Road), Vicarage Road and A4178 (Wiggenhall Road/Farraline Road/Fearnley Street/The Hornets/Merton Road/Cassio Road) or via A4178 (Cassio Road/Merton Road), Vicarage Road, Merton Road, A411 (Exchange Road/Beechen Grove), A412 (St Albans Road/Rickmansworth Road) and A4178 Cassio Road.

Elsewhere in Watford, the county council is planning to make orders to close Harwoods Road and Langley Road for roadworks.

These are due to come into force on August 2 and will apply to the length of Harwoods Road, from its junction with Vicarage Road north-westwards to its junction with Whippendell Road, and that length of Langley Way from its junction with Hempstead Road south-westwards to its junction with Cassiobury Drive roundabout.

The Langley Way works are scheduled to start on September 15 according to one.network, but there is no date given yet for the Harwoods Road closure.

The alternative route during the Langley Way closure will be via Hempstead Road, Stratford Way and Cassiobury Drive.

When the Harwoods Road closure is in place, drivers should use A4145 (Vicarage Road/Hagden Lane), Queens Avenue and Whippendell Road instead.

Part of The Avenue, Watford, is due to be shut to motorists from August 1 to 3 for utility works, according to one.network.

Drivers will be prohibited from using the road from a point 20m north-west of its junction with A411 The Avenue south-eastwards for a distance of approximately 20m.

The alternative route will be via The Avenue, Stratford Road, Langley Road, A412 St Albans Road and A411 (Hempstead Road/Hyde Road).

An order is due to come into force on August 2 for the closure of a 14m section of Woodmere Avenue from its junction with A41 North Western Avenue Colne Way for traffic signal refurbishment works, except for access.

This closure is due to take place from August 31 to September 2, one.network states, and the diversion will be via North Western Avenue Colne Way, Tudor Avenue, Bushey Mill Lane and Woodmere Avenue.

Utility works are set to temporarily close a section of Rudolph Road, Bushey, from August 4 to August 6, one.network states.

Traffic will be unable to use the road from its junction with Herkomer Road south-westwards for a distance of approximately 18m.

The diversion will be via Herkomer Road, Bournehall Road, A411 High Street and Rudolph Road.

Part of Upper Highway, Abbots Langley, is due to be temporarily closed for tree maintenance works.

This order is set to take effect on August 6 and will prevent traffic from using the road from its junction with Gallows Hill north-eastwards and south-eastwards to its junction with Hazelwood Lane, except for access.

One.network states these works are due to take place on August 9 and 10, during which time motorists should use Gallows Hill, Hamilton Road, Hunton Bridge Hill and Upper Highway.
