Roadworks causing gridlock

Reported via desktop in the Roadworks category anonymously at 11:46, Tuesday 8 April 2025

Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS7405005.

The road works at Angel are causing gridlock traffic for well over a mile in every direction. It's terrible and should have been done during the night to minimize disruption. This situation is impacting everyone, and the area is being highly affected.

Updates

  • The simultaneous roadworks on Pentonville Road and in Angel are causing significant traffic disruption, impacting all road users, including buses. Coupled with recent bus lane closures on Pentonville Road, this concurrent scheduling seems poorly coordinated and inefficient. A more staggered approach is requested to minimize the current severe congestion.

    I am also completely unclear as to why the bus lane on Pentonville road needs to be closed so frequently, it seems to be every other week!
