Park Street Roundabout in Hertfordshire faces weekend closure
Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 15 Nov, 07:56 · Archive
The Park Street Roundabout in Hertfordshire will close on its south side this weekend as part of works for a planned freight terminal.
The Park Street Roundabout in Hertfordshire will close on its south side between 8am and 6pm this weekend as part of ongoing works for a major development project.
Segro, the company carrying out the work, purchased 419 hectares of land at the location of the former Radlett Aerodrome in 2023. The firm intends to build a freight terminal on the site. To accommodate the roundabout closure, several surrounding roads will also close overnight, including the A414 westbound from the London Colney Roundabout to the Park Street Roundabout, the A5183 Watling Street South access and exit, and the A405 North Orbital Road South between Tippendell Lane and the Park Street Roundabout.
Segro said diversion routes will be put in place with appropriate signage across the network. The company's spokesperson stated: 'We would like to thank you for your cooperation during these works and we will continue to provide updates as the work progresses.'
The project has faced opposition from campaigners, who argue it will bring thousands of extra lorries and vans onto already congested roads. Opponents mounted a High Court appeal against the development, which was unsuccessful.
Segro's chief executive officer David Sleath has defended the scheme, saying it will 'benefit the national and local economies'.
