ON Tuesday 7 June 2022 Harlow hosts The Women’s Tour, a cycle race which will feature some of the best female cyclists in the world.

On the day there will need to be temporary road closures in operation along the route.

Most of these closures will be rolling road closures.

There will be two roads as part of the finish route closed for long periods. 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.

School run traffic will be affected by some road closures, so parents are advised to plan ahead. 

As well as sharing this information on social media Harlow Council is writing to residents near to the road closures and schools, businesses, and organisations. 

The Women’s Tour road closures are (all times listed are approximate and subject to change):

Abercrombie Way (Between Third Avenue & Pyenest Road) – closed 5am-7pm – this is not part of the route but will be used by the cycling teams.
