This is to allow Cadent Gas to undertake investigatory works on a gas main. Delays are expected. If your journey would normally use the Embankment for destinations beyond Westminster Bridge, you will need to use an alternative route such as the Inner Ring Road north towards Euston Road or south towards Vauxhall Bridge. If you do not need access to central London, using routes such as the A406 North Circular, the A205 South Circular or the M25 could mean a quicker journey. More information can be found here
