A section of the North Circular is closed in both directions with traffic queuing back to the M4 after a woman fell from a bridge. Metropolitan Police officers were called at 2.18am on Friday (August 2) to reports of a woman having fallen from a bridge over Gunnersbury Avenue in Hounslow.
Road closures and cordons remain in place as the investigation continues. The A406 North Circular is closed in both directions between M4 Junction 1 (Chiswick Roundabout, Chiswick) and A4000 Gunnersbury Lane (Gunnersbury Park, Acton). This has resulted in significant congestion extending to Chiswick High Road from the M4, south back around Acton Green Common, and past Turnham Green station.
Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes where possible. Delays are expected to persist until the road can be safely reopened.
