Extensive roadworks planned for A316 Great Chertsey Rd

Roadworks due to take place on Great Chertsey Rd are likely to cause significant traffic delays in Chiswick well into 2022.

Transport for London is carrying out maintenance and refurbishment work on the bridge over the railway line between the junctions with Hartington Rd and Staveley Rd from 6 December 2021 to 17 January 2022.

Traffic lane closures will be in place on the A316 Great Chertsey Rd on the approaches to Grove Park Bridge, from Chiswick Bridge to the south and Hogarth roundabout to the north 24 hours a day for the duration of the works.

TfL says the project will improve the long-term condition of the bridge, which is listed as having a ‘weak verge.’ The road’s surface and pavements will be improved too.

When is the work taking place?

Work will take place on weekdays from 8am until 5pm and Saturdays from 8am to 1pm. There will be two weekends when work will take place across the whole weekend – 17 to 20 December 2021 and 14 to 17 January 2022.

TfL said the noisiest works will be carried out before 11pm every night. The project will be paused between 20 December 2021 and 3 January 2022.

The pavement along the A316 Great Chertsey Road will be closed in the northbound direction from 6 to 20 December 2021, and in the southbound direction from 4 to 17 January 2022.

Northbound bus stop ‘Staveley Road’ (Stop R) will be suspended from 6 December to 20 December 2021. The nearest alternative stop is Alexandra Avenue’ (Stop S).

TfL have said poor weather conditions may increase the timeframe to complete the work.

Conservatives call on LB Hounslow to relax of traffic restrictions in response closure

Cllr Sam Hearn, Traffic and Transport Spokesperson for the Conservative Councillors Group, said:

“We have asked Hounslow Council and TfL to discuss the immediate relaxation of the access restrictions on Hartington Rd for the duration of the road works on the A316.

“We believe that this simple and easily implemented action would relieve the potential overloading of the local road network. Our roads are already under stress from the major works now being undertaken on Chiswick High Rd. N

“No response has as yet been received from Hounslow Council but TfL have agreed to discuss this proposal with Hounslow Highways.”
