MOTORISTS and bus passengers are facing diversions this afternoon after a Muswell Hill road was closed due to subsidence.

Alexandra Park Road N10 is closed to traffic between its junctions with Thirlmere Road and Grasmere Road.

Thames Water is now on site and has found a leaking pipe - once this has been repaired and the extent of the damage to the road is clear, a decision will be made on how long the road will be shut for.

Motorists are being diverted from Colney Hatch Lane on the Muswell Hill side and Bridge Road from the Wood Green side.

Bus route diversions are also in place.
