During this morning's rush hour, Waterfields Way was gridlocked back to Stephenson Way, Eastbury Road back to Hampermill Lane, Pinner Road towards Carpenders Park, and London Road back to Bushey.
As of 9.30am, Eastbury Road and Pinner Road remain particularly slow heading towards Watford.
Elsewhere, temporary lights in Hempstead Road, at the junction of Ridge Lane, for footway patching should be lifted by tomorrow. Today, traffic was crawling back to the A41 in Hunton Bridge.
