THE rolling road closures in Harlow for the Women’s Tour on Tuesday 7 June 2022 have been updated and are now earlier than previously advised. 

The race will set off at 11am from Harlow Innovation Park but is now expected to arrive back in the town via Water Lane at around 1.20pm. 

Most road closures on the day will be rolling road closures. This means as soon as the race passes through each road, they will reopen. 

There will be two roads as part of the finish route closed for long periods – part of Abercrombie Way and part of Third Avenue. However, diversions will be in place to ensure that people can still get to and from their home or business.

All closures are likely to delay journeys or affect the route that residents would normally make. Instead of driving residents are asked to consider cycling or walking if this is possible.
