Travel Disruption in Forest Hill tonight, tomorrow ...

[admin]

Just received from TfL:

I am writing to let you know about travel disruption in the Forest Hill area, while Thames Water carries out emergency repairs on a collapsed sewer. This will start from 21:00 tonight and is expected to last several days.

The A205 London Road will be restricted to one lane in both directions at the junction with Devonshire Road, outside Forest Hill station. There will be no right turn from the A205 London Road into Dartmouth Road. Road users are advised to avoid the area.

Bus routes 176 and 197 will be diverted via Sydenham Hill and Kirkdale and will not serve London Road, Forest Hill station and Dartmouth Road. Customers are advised to use nearby stops in Lordship Lane or Kirkdale.

To check for future updates on the roadworks, please visit http://tfl.gov.uk

Discovered this evening that you can't turn out of Kirkdale into Thorpewood Avenue - presumably to ensure that eastbound diverted traffic doesn't try to cut through to Dartmouth Road. (But where will it go instead?)

Good news is the water main work is finished.

Bad news is it's still bloody leaking! Arrgh.
