Euston Road tonight

What happened on Euston Road tonight? Was trying to get there around 7pm to commute west, but gridlock from about 1 miles back from Kings Cross. Most of West End was gridlocked. Ended up going via Aldwych, Strand and Buck Pal to get out again. Was it a serious accident? … necessary to shut this road completely?

I think there is just so many road works and closures at the moment.

Just as I got to the Old Kent Road the police closed the section by the tesco’s heading out of town and within minutes it was complete gridlock as well.

Agreed. City Road / Old St area in particular. Cones, temporary lights, lane closures, guys in hi viz mooching. Maybe it’s National “Gratuitous Street Furniture” Week!

Road works has been a problem along there for the last couple of weeks
im based behind the Crick & take to the back roads to get down to the A12

Wait until HS2 gets into full swing. There are already closures popping up at random all around Regents Park Estate, Albany Street, Prince Albert Road, Hampstead Road, not to mention the whole area around Euston which will only get worse.
