Kilburn High Road: open!

Finally, after over a week of repairs, Kilburn High Road re-opened to traffic this afternoon.

Although the water main burst was technically in Camden (and the road diversion was on the other side of the Edgware Road), a number of Maida Vale residents have been in touch to say how inconvenient the road closure has been for them.

I must admit my eyebrows to have been raised last night when I had another look at progress - due to the road being still cordoned off despite all the tarmac having been replaced and the lines having already been re-painted. A quick e-mail was fired off to officers who got in touch with Camden to find out what the problem was (we had heard rumours it would be closed until Friday to allow anti-skid marks to be painted). Thankfully, Camden have been sensible and re-opened it today.
