Dog kennel Hill Closed - turning for Sainsburys to Albrighton Road

[AylwardS]

Anyone driving from Goose Green up past East Dulwich Station the road is taped off at the traffic lights at the turning to Sainsburys up to Albrighton Road.

Not clear why and no diversion I can see

[SpringTime]

A car appears to have gone South West from Grove Hill Road over the lights and then "missed" its entry into Champion Hill only to go half way through a wall on the corner of Grove Lane. To me that's what appears to have happened - must've been going at some pelt to get the car that far through the wall. So DKH northbound closed for a while

[dresswaves]

Yes at 9am the traffic was terrible, backed up in all directions from Goose Green roundabout. At 10am the closure on Dog Kennel Hill is still there but traffic is light on Grove Vale so a diversion must be on?

[northernmonkey]

Traffic is u-turning at the lights and coming back down grove vale -so extremely heavy all along grove vale to goose green roundabout / lordship lane and then onto ED Grove. Busses diverted along ED Grove - also busy along Calton / Townley etc as Waze adapts routes to allow for this.

Made quite a mess of the wall/house...

As of 20 minutes ago the stretch was still closed, even with no signs of any debris or people in the road, just a car bonnet-shaped hole in a brick wall. Better open it soon or Southwark CPZ planners will claim it's a rewilding project.

I hope no-one was having a lie-in behind that wall. Jeezus.

[spider69]

The last time this happened on this corner someone was killed.

Hence the flower garden.

How did the car hit the wall without taking out the signpost?

[richard tudor]

Is the P113 going on its normal route into Sainsburys and the up Lordship Lane or going on a world tour>

Would appreciate knowing as I need to get to DMC in Crystal Palace Road.

Many thanks

[elliot]

The P13 shouldn't be affected as it never traverses the section which is closed. The 40, 176, 185 and 484 on the other hand will be diverted.

Presumably it was heading north and hit the wall at an angle.

It was an Uber driver at 3am this morning. He had a heart attack. Hope he is ok!

[Pugwash]

Closure of DKH from Sainsbury's upwards at 3.50 this afternoon - police cars and a lorry stationed by traffic lights opp DKH school

Oh no, poor fellow. I really hope the poor man is okay.

Looking at the photos, that might be Jenny?s house.

[northernmonkey]

it isn't - she lives in the 'stealth house' further along.

[KidKruger]

Aah, OK. I thought it was up there somewhere !!
