Lordship lane roadworks - closure 18-30 November

[annafb]

Hello,

Signs are up saying that the section from the Harvester, that was, to Goose Green roundabout will be closed. Will this be in chunks or the whole stretch the whole time - Tfl doesn't seem to have any details re bus diversions...

[singalto]

The notice has said the works are going on until the 31st November!

[KidKruger]

surely chunks. to work on the entire stretch all in one go, with the workforce and organisation that would require, seems unlikely.

[Burbage]

According to the LondonWorks website (http://public.londonworks.gov.uk), they'll resurface the road between 22nd and 30th November (despite the signage and, of course, Brexit, this November is scheduled to stop after the usual 30 days).

It'll be in chunks, allegedly as follows:

22/23: Goodrich - Landells

26/27: Townley to No. 238

28/29: Townley to No. 159

That doesn't explain everything the signeage implies, but the website isn't always reliable or complete so we may be in for some exciting surprises elsewhere. Perhaps they'll fix some of the potholes. Or are trying to scare as much traffic away as possible, to avoid the usual nonsense and limit the increased pressure on parking.

In other parts of the country they re-surface one half of the road at a time whilst operating a contraflow- instead of shutting the whole road and diverting massive buses down narrow side roads

In some parts of the country they give a toss for their electors, but not the Southwark satraps.

I understood from the signs the work was at night??

There are no parking signs from Dukes Court to just past Overhill Road from Monday on LL. There are also two roller machines parked up on that stretch of LL.

[Sonners]

The no parking signs I have seen around Overhill seem to say 17-20 November so presumably they are doing the works in sections...

[James Barber]

Lots of highway resurfacing. This is a good thing but should be carried out in the school summer holidays - that's what I asked officers for when still a councillor.

[singalto]

The sign says day and night. Such fun..

[Bic Basher]

The last time LL was resurfaced between Melford and Overhill, they did it all overnight in 2-3 nights I think, allowing the road to flow normally during the day.

The works started today from just before Friern Road to just past Upland Road. Route 12 is starting from Peckham Rye and Route 40 from Goose Green.

Living on Upland Road, it would have been nice to have been informed beforehand that the top of the road would be closed to traffic. Also, no signs to tell drivers of this on Upland road.

[Pugwash]

details of closures and alternative routes have been in the local papers the last 2 weeks.

[ColinN]

The Conway guys did a brilliant t job of resurfacing Underhill Rd last week. Lots of notices before. Helpful during. Very efficient and quick. They clearly knew what they were doing. Lordship lane is a bit harder because of the traffic volume but I'd be confident they know what they are about

Completely agree, we had a nightmare getting back into our flat yesterday afternoon after having been out for the day. They should absolutely be doing this in the school holidays not when there is already a massive traffic issue owing to school traffic and especially on upland road during school drop off and pick up the parking is dire as is

[Angharad_L]

Does anyone know of this will affect the P13 from Friern Rosd to Sainsbury?s?

I really hope not - will be the fourth time it?s been off or on diversion!

[PeckhamRose]

The news may have been in the papers for the last two weeks but very few people read newspapers. I am glad that it is not happening at the same time Rye Lane is to be closed for a year.

What, Rose? Rye Lane is to be closed for a year? Are you nuts?

No, folks. No. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1981497

There were no roadworks today in LL. I suspect Conway will be back in the morning to do the other side of the road between just past Court Lane to Friern Road.

[wonderwoman]

Well it's started again today..major blockage at the plough junction no buses coming either way, bus stops are full, great start to the week ..

[EDNate]

Would be nice if they sent us all a letter especially when closing bus stops.

But we probably wouldn't receive it anyway as it would get stuck in Peckham sorting office for 9 years.

[micromacromonkey]

Interestingly they are doing the same to Danby st and Avondale Rise this week also. Did they have a bunch of cash left over for this financial year that needed spending?

[exdulwicher]

I was in town at the weekend and walked from Sydenham Hill down Cox's Walk to the South Circ / LL junction then along LL and turned off down Court Lane (this was Saturday afternoon). One side of LL for about 250m was being re-surfaced and Court Lane was closed at the junction onto LL.

Walking down Court Lane though - wow, the number of drivers ignoring the prominent ROAD CLOSED signs and driving right to the top, discovering that the ROAD was in fact CLOSED (hint: the signs saying ROAD CLOSED may help you here...) and then attempting to turn round - driving across pavements, turning around in people's driveways and then roaring off down the road in frustration! Insane. Traffic on Court Lane between Eynella Road and the LL junction was mental because of the number of people ignoring those signs.

Other than that I had a really pleasant walk and watching the traffic was quite entertaining....

[Bic Basher]

Conway are now working between Overhill and Melford Road.
