Historical road closure data

Request ID: FOI-4374-2324
Date published: 29 February 2024

You asked
Good afternoon, I was using your online traffic viewer (https://public.londonworks.gov.uk/roadworks/home) that goes back up to two weeks. Is it possible to have data for before this? Specifically, I am after road closures on the A501 in the Kings Cross area on 17th December 2023. I was present there and the road was closed off but no diversion was in place so I am trying to find out why the road was closed. Any help that you can give would be much appreciated.
