A section of a major road linking to a motorway near Watford is set to be shut to allow a telecommunications mast to be replaced.

Herts County Council has published its intention to temporarily close part of A404 Rickmansworth Road, Chorleywood in the Public Notice Portal.

The portal is used to access upcoming and recent information about various restrictions and applications.

All temporary road closure orders and other restrictions are valid for up to 18 months from the date they come into force, but restrictions will only apply at times shown on signs at or near the relevant locations.

Here are four notices we’ve rounded up which could affect residents in the Watford area.

A404 Rickmansworth Road, Chorleywood - temporary closure

Herts County Council is intending to make an order to prohibit all vehicles from using the A404 Rickmansworth Road, Chorleywood from its junction with Park Avenue north westwards to its junction with the M25 (junction 18) southbound slip road leading onto the southbound carriageway of the M25, a distance of approximately 38m, so a telecommunications mast can be replaced.

This order, if made, will come into force on July 22.

B462 Aldenham Road, Bushey – temporary closure

The county council is set to make an order to prevent all vehicles from using B462 Aldenham Road, Bushey from its junction with Heathfield Road north eastwards to its junction with the Bushey Hall Road/ The Avenue roundabout, a distance of approximately 143m, except for access.

This is to allow a gas main to be replaced.

If made, this order will come into force on July 21.
