Hounslow road closures: two for motorists to avoid this week

Hounslow's motorists will have two road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And one of them is expected to cause severe delays – with drivers facing a wait of at least 30 minutes. Another will cause moderate delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• M4, from 11pm December 9 to 5am December 12, severe delays (more than 30 minutes): M4 eastbound, junction 2 to junction 1, Full weekend closure for TFL structural works on A4, diversion via TFL roads.

• M4, from 10pm December 5 to 5am December 17, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M4 westbound, junction 1 to junction 3, carriageway closure and entry slip road closures for CAT1 barrier repairs, diversion via TFL roads.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
