Vehicle breakdown road disruption — [A406] NORTH CIRCULAR ROAD (NW10 ) (Brent)

A broken-down car is blocking one of three eastbound lanes on the A406 at Great Central Way in Brent. Traffic is slow on approach, with delays expected.

A406 - North Circular Road. Looking towards Henlys Corner, a Tanker begins the drag up to Manor Cottage where there used to be a roundabout. Now there is an underpass, but the road continues to climb until it crosses the Northern Line. There are often traffic jams on the west bound carriageway due to the traffic lights at the junctions with the A1 and the A598 just round the corner. The houses in the background are on Beaufort Park.
