Bushey Arches roundabout set for Network Rail road closure

Signs were put in place last night (January 3) at the roundabout, linking Bushey to Lower High Street in Watford, to let the public know that work will be underway from 10pm on January 15.

It will then be shut overnight while roadworks are underway from 10pm to 6.30am each morning, until the morning of January 18 according to One Network^[1].

Emergency access will be maintained at all times and nearby footways will not close.

The work is being carried out by Network Rail for rail purposes. Trains to and from Bushey Station pass over the Bushey Arches railway viaduct.

There was chaos at Bushey Arches in June last year when similar overnight Network Rail works were underway.

It was set to finish at 6am on June 7, but because a highway maintenance vehicle broke-down it lasted well into rush-hour.

This caused “heavy traffic”, “madness”, and “complete chaos”, according to motorists. Several drivers described delays of up to 45 minutes.
