Police have cordoned off Hertford Road in Enfield following an overnight incident, with the road currently shut between the junctions of Turkey Street and Ordnance Road. The closure, which blocks off several pubs and shops, is causing significant traffic disruption in the Freezy Water area.
Officers remain on scene guarding blue-and-white tape stretching across the usually busy street, though the nature of the incident has yet to be confirmed. The Metropolitan Police and London Ambulance Service have been contacted for more information.
Traffic and bus diversions
The closure is causing congestion to and from Bullsmoor, with long queues reported between the A10 and Mollison Avenue at Solar Way. Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes while the cordon remains in place.
Transport for London has confirmed that three bus routes are being diverted away from the area. The affected routes are currently avoiding Hertford Road, with passengers advised to check for updates before travelling.
Ongoing police presence
Police remain at the scene this morning, and the cordon is expected to stay in place for some time. The road closure is affecting access to local businesses and residential areas, with the full extent of the incident still unclear.
