Buses and roads

Bus and road users may be affected by the following changes this weekend. We expect to run a good service, but buses may be delayed, diverted or stop short of their normal destination.

Westminster Bridge - Until 05:00 on Saturday 9 November, Westminster Bridge will be closed to westbound traffic and Bridge Street will be closed in both directions. During these works, licensed taxis, buses and cyclists will continue to have access to the bridge westbound. Delays are expected on the approaches to Westminster Bridge, Parliament Square and the surrounding area.

Using Vauxhall Bridge and the Inner Ring Road south of the river may mean a quicker journey for trips across London. Disruption in and around Parliament Square can be a regular occurrence due to planned works, events or protests. Please consider alternatives to driving for local journeys if possible. Please visit our travel advice page for more information.

Gallows Corner - Until tomorrow, Friday 30 August, Gallows Corner Flyover will be closed between 09:30 and 20:00 each day for essential restructuring and maintenance works. Signed diversions will be in place.
