Serious delays Walworth road/denmark hill

[wonderwoman]

Warning terrible delays possibly due to roadworks. Stuck in traffic best to avoid this area if possible

[Rob tolfts]

Saw a matrix sign saying something about a gas leak, guess that's the problem

[KidKruger]

anyone know if this is still happening (delays / gas leak repairs) ?

[Dulwich61]

Passed the scene at 6.25pm. Looks largely like a water mains burst, though may be a gas leak being suppressed by water dosing.

There's Thames water vans near Butterfly walk denmark hill down to single lanes. There were delays this morning but nothing like this afternoon. Took around 40mins to get from Burgess Park to King's. Thames water website indicates it would be all week.

[sonla]

Still a nightmare today , avoid if possible

[singalto]

Still a nightmare this afternoon!

[KidKruger]

yeah agreed as of 30mins ago !!

Mad out here bus let us off by Edwards Cycle shop, me and loads of others walked to Kings to catch next bus. Stop is packed. Roads both sides are totally blocked. Ambulances having trouble fighting through buses and vehicles to get to the hospital. Is there not a better way of managing traffic perhaps getting diversions in place or getting whatever needs to be done fixed. I can't see any workmen out there at the moment. This is ridiculous...

[bobbsy]

No workmen there when I went though 7.50 this morning. Obviously traffic management is a huge priority!

[wonderwoman]

Traffic seemed much better this morning, maybe someones been listening, or maybe people using different routes so less traffic in area...

I retired in 2008 having spent nearly 14 years traveling from East Dulwich to the Borough

on the 40 or 176. The Walworth Road and Camberwell Green has never been any different.

Worst time was the 18 months+ when they were doing the road narrowing scheme down to one lane in each direction.

2008 retirement? I had you somewhat older vintage (though not quite on a par with the Duke of Edinburgh), travelling the tram route (pic attached).

Just came through Camberwell. The works have finished now - all clear.

Thanks for letting us know Ruffler.

Buses and cars were still held up for a while coming from Burgess Park to Camberwell and to the lights near Nandos around 1.30 this afternoon and plenty of tooting and shouting so glad it's over.

Rush hour today was also affected by an incident at elephant castle to top things off. By the time it got to kings I could see a workman collecting cones and opening up the road. However the Loughborough junction seemed to still have temporary traffic lights.
