Road Closures Plus in Wembley Park on Saturday June 1st - residents can expect travel plans disruption

There are additional road closures over and above the normal Wembley Event closures on Saturday June 1st for the UEFA Champions League match . This includes Bridge Road, Wembley Park Drive and Empire Way.

Residents' movements by car or public transport appears to be severely affected.

This is the Brent Council announcement:

 

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - IMPORTANT UPDATES

 

This Saturday 1 June, the UEFA Champions League Final takes place at Wembley Stadium.

 

The area in and around Wembley Stadium will be extremely busy with additional road closures and diversions in place compared to traditional event day operations.

 

Borussia Dortmund fan march

 

Borussia Dortmund supporters will be taking part in a fan march from The Torch Pub on Bridge Road to Wembley Stadium from around 4pm on Saturday 1 June.

 

To provide a safe area for the fan march to congregate and move to the stadium, the following roads will be closed to all traffic:

 

  • Bridge Road
  • Wembley Park Drive (with local access up to Elmside Road)
  • Empire Way (with access up to Wembley Leisure Centre)
  • Fulton Road (between Empire Way & Rutherford Way)


Signed diversion routes will be in place while the roads are closed. The closures are expected to be in place for periods well before and after the fan march takes place.

 

A map of the road closures can be seen below:

 


 

Fryent Way coach parking

 

Fryent Way will be closed on Saturday 1 and 2 June between the hours of 5am (Saturday) and 4am (Sunday) to facilitate coach parking.

 

Fryent Park will be open, however visitors are advised that Fryent Country Park Car Park will not be accessible via vehicle and visitors should seek other parking arrangements if driving to the site.

 

Wembley Stadium concourse closure


The concourse area around level one of Wembley Stadium will be closed off to the public in the lead up to the upcoming UEFA Champions League Final.


New gates and shutters have been installed around the concourse, as part of The Football Association’s commitment to improve safety and security around the stadium footprint.

 

  • A full closure will be in place from 26 May up until 8pm on 5 June
  • From 6 June, the concourse will be closed between 8pm and 7am each night

Event day parking

 

Event day parking restrictions will be in place from 8am to midnight on main roads and from 10am to midnight on residential roads on Saturday 1 June.

 

If you have a paper permit, please make sure you clearly display it in your vehicle. If you have an electronic permit, you do not need to display this.

 

Drink-free zone

 

We want to create a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors.

 

To crack down on anti-social behaviour, we will be enforcing a ban on street drinking in the streets around Wembley Stadium before this match, as part of the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO).


If we find anyone drinking on Olympic Way or in the surrounding streets, they will be asked to hand over their alcohol and enforcement action may be considered.

 

Off licences will not be selling alcohol to anyone attending this event on 1 June.
