From Monday 16 March to Thursday 19 March 2026, Kingswood Road in Watford, Hertfordshire, will close daily for utility maintenance, causing temporary changes to a local bus route. Hertfordshire Passenger Transport announced that the road will be shut between 9:30 am and 4:00 pm each day to allow for the essential works.
During these hours, the Red Eagle service 319 will be unable to serve its usual stops, between North Watford Rushton Avenue and Kingswood Sheepcot Lane (Kingswood, Lamb’s Close). The bus will instead bypass this section of the route while the maintenance takes place.
Passengers who usually use these stops are advised to use alternative boarding points during the four-day period. According to Intalink, these stops are located at St Albans Road Library and Sheepcot Lane at the St Michaels Drive stop.
The daily closures are designed to allow workers to carry out repairs safely while minimising disruption during peak morning and evening travel times. All bus services are expected to return to their normal routes once the work is finished on Thursday afternoon.
