Norbury roadworks: how to check closures before you travel

A practical guide for Norbury residents on using Croydon Council’s roadworks map, traffic order pages and London roadworks register to check closures, temporary signals and planned works before setting off.

Norbury residents planning school runs, care visits, deliveries or journeys across the A23 and surrounding streets have several official places to check for roadworks and temporary restrictions before travelling.

Croydon Council’s roadworks page says residents can use an interactive one.network map to find current and planned roadworks across Croydon and beyond. The council says the map can be searched by postcode, can show works up to 12 months in advance, and allows users to set up email alerts for future roadworks that might affect them.

The page is available at Croydon Council’s roadworks guide. The Gazette is not embedding the live map here, because residents should use the council page or the map provider directly for the latest details.

Check the traffic order pages as well

Some closures and waiting restrictions are also listed through Croydon Council’s traffic management order pages. The council’s June 2026 temporary traffic orders page includes Norbury entries for Darcy Road and Pollards Hill North, as previously reported by the Gazette, alongside later June notices elsewhere in the borough.

For current documents, residents should use Croydon Council’s temporary traffic orders list and open the PDF for the specific road concerned. The PDFs are the best place to check the precise road limits, whether a notice is a proposal or made order, and any details published by the council.

What to look for before setting off

Search by postcode or road name, especially for side streets used to avoid London Road or Streatham High Road congestion.
Check whether works are planned for today or at a later date, as not all listed works are active immediately.
Look for temporary signals, lane closures, footway restrictions, parking suspensions and access-only arrangements, not just full closures.
If arranging a delivery, taxi, care visit or appointment, check again close to the time because roadworks can change.
For longer journeys across borough boundaries, check wider London roadworks information rather than only Norbury streets.

Residents can also use London’s public roadworks register, which redirects users to its roadworks service, for current and planned works across Greater London.

For urgent hazards or damaged roads, residents should use Croydon Council’s reporting routes rather than relying only on roadworks maps. For live public transport disruption, use the relevant operator’s live updates.
