Road Closures: Charterhouse Street, Carthusian Street and East Poultry Avenue Thank you very much for your patience whilst we continue building the new Crossrail Farringdon Station. Over the next few months, it will be necessary to have a series of weekend closures of a section of Charterhouse Street to through traffic. The closures will be in operation in conjunction with the westbound closure of Charterhouse Street and Carthusian Street (between Aldersgate and Lindsey Street). Local access will be maintained at all times, and diversions in place. Charterhouse & Carthusian Street eastbound only 15 August 2015 – December 2018 As part of the preparatory works to install a link bridge between the Barbican tube platforms and the Crossrail Farringdon Eastern ticket hall, a single eastbound lane only will be in operation between Lindsey Street and Aldersgate Street. Charterhouse Street and East Poultry closed to through traffic for crane deliveries at the Butcher’s Ramp site entrance (between Comptoir Gascon and Smiths of Smithfield)
