Update on Camberwell Grove bridge consultation

[James Barber]

Southwark has issued a final advertise for a new Traffic Management Order for the Camberwell Grove bridge over the railway line to have a weight restriction limit. This is in keeping with returning Camberwell Grove to alternate one-way signal controlled operation for motor vehicles. This new order will come into force 25 June unless some one objects. At some point after this the road will be so re opened.

"Roads create traffic"

But there is evidence that the closure shifted traffic to less suitable roads. If a closure of Bellenden (and associated side roads) was on the cards I might agree with you. But the choice was between closing the bridge with no mitigation for other roads or reopening the bridge - in that case the choice for residents in and around Bellenden was obvious.

The closure of CG caused unbearable strain on surrounding roads. Reopening it isn't going to create more traffic.
