Thames Water have begun emergency repairs under two-way lights which could case delays today.

Just before 1pm, Hertfordshire County Council Highways confirmed that the water company is currently carrying out the work in Chalk Hill (A411) at the junction with Haydon Road.

The emergency permit allows for 24/7 temporary traffic signals until the end of next Thursday (March 21), although the actual repairs may not take that long.

Temporary lights in the road, near Bushey Arches, have previously caused significant rush hour delays for Watford journeys and the ongoing works have been listed as "delays possible".

The pavement has not been shut.

Other roadworks to be aware of:

  • Delays are also likely in Baldwins Lane, Croxley Green, between 9.30am and 4pm, from today until March 18, due to pathway reconstruction works outside No. 117 to No. 139.
  • Gully cleaning works are set to shut St Johns Road, Watford, from 9.30am to 3.30pm, from next Wednesday March 20 to March 22.
