As this concerns roads I guess this is the most appropriate place to ask this.

Just received my weekly TFL travel advice email which included the fact that, until 6:00pm on Friday May 15th, Abingdon Street will be closed between Parliament Square and Great Peter Street to support the State Opening of Parliament.

Given that the State Opening Of Parliament was yesterday, Wednesday May 13th, I’m not sure I understand why it needs two full days for the road to be reopened?

I'd guess it'll depend what sort of infrastructure they've had to put in the road for the event. If they've had to use a lot of anti-terrorist concrete blocks, as I suspect they will have done, then it will take time to move them again.

Well I appreciate it takes time to set things up and remove them but I just couldn’t see it needing two days.
