Old Oak Common Lane preparatory works: Saturday work UPDATE

What we are doing

Old Oak Common Lane realignment: Saturday working from 4 October until 10 January 2026, plus Sunday 11 January (as a contingency)

We have previously informed you about how we are diverting large parts of the utility network under Old Oak Common Lane. Over the next few months, you will notice that the road layout is different. Traffic and pedestrians will be re-routed onto temporary new roads. These new roads are being constructed in areas which were previously part of our site. You can find more information about these works in our Old Oak Common Lane newsletter.

As we’re preparing for the realignment on Old Oak Common Lane, we need to continue with critical utility diversion works across our site. Due to extremely tight deadlines, we’ve had to adapt our programme.

Previously our worked stopped at 1pm on Saturdays. However, due to the complex scope and volume of works, we need to extend our Saturday working hours. Starting Saturday 4 October, we will be working from 8am to 5pm. We may also have to work some Sundays and continue with weekend working in 2026 but we will notify you as soon as we can of this in an updated communication, along with any mitigations. A reminder that we will not be working over the Christmas period (Wednesday 24 December 2025 until Monday 5 January 2026).
