What we are doing
Old Oak Common Lane temporary night-time closure: 4-5 January 2022
We are temporarily closing Old Oak Common Lane between Wells House Road and Wulfstan Street to all traffic, from 9pm on Tuesday 4 January to 6am on Wednesday 5 January 2022. During this time, we will be installing barriers and an additional set on traffic lights on Old Oak Common Lane, to extend the existing northbound lane closure in place for works on the Wells House Road boundary wall. A map is included on page two to show the traffic management that will be in place on Old Oak Common Lane from 5 January.
There will be a diversion in place via Victoria Road (map on page three). Bus stops on Old Oak Common Lane will be closed and buses will be on diversion during the works. Vehicle access to Wells House Road will be maintained throughout the closure. Access will be maintained for pedestrians, and cyclists will be asked to dismount and walk their bikes through the closure.
Although this activity is not anticipated to be noisy, there will be vehicle movements and people working on Old Oak Common Lane during the closure.
Alternative transportation for Wells House Road residents
As a result of the closure and associated bus diversions, we will be providing transport for Wells House Road residents who are older people, disabled people, those who have small children, or people with access needs. Details of this service will be sent separately to Wells House Road residents.
Changes to traffic management on Old Oak Common Lane
To safely carry out the stabilisation works on the Wells House Road boundary wall, we need to reinstate the three-way traffic lights on Old Oak Common Lane, and extend the lane closure further North on the northbound carriageway. These changes will be implemented during the road closure on 4 January 2022, and remain in place until the completion of the works in April 2022.
