Underhill Road blockage, between Upland and Friern

[Penguin68]

This road has been blocked off to traffic since Thursday (possibly Wednesday). Which means the P13 doesn't seem to travel south of Barry up Underhill. Does anyone know why, and when the road may re-open?

Yes it does - was on bus lunchtime to day & going to last till Tuesday - goes down Barry Rd, then bears left and then into Underhill. Wasn't going that far so not interested. Grateful was going down Barry. Hope that helps. Other way ie towards south circular, think driver said going up Barry Rd from Underhill but again not sure - best to check but driver does tell people who board bus is on diversion and where it is going. Helpful.

UNDERHILL ROAD, SE22: Route P13 is diverted via Lordship Lane and Barry Road until 19:00 Monday 18 March due to water works on Underhill Road. Buses are unable to serve stops between Underhill Road/Melford Road and Whateley Road.

Thank you. Thames Water is clearly planning to entirely isolate Dulwich before the troops are sent in to clear the area.

The road works are at the junction of Underhill with Friern Roads occupying one lane. Someone has helpful repositioned the barriers to open up one of the lanes allowing two way traffic with consideration.

Sadly whoever agreed the road closure didn?t actually ask any questions of Thames Water to get the closure minimised to one lane.

Much quieter though was nice walking along there earlier.

Looks like work is completed. Except for removal of barriers

But the buses are still mucked up! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

This has now moved to another section of road.

I despair!

Anyone know how many weeks/months this fiasco is due to continue for as it seems to be ongoing for Wed to Sunday each week?

"Route P13 is diverted due to the closure of Underhill Road for roadworks. Alternative stops are Lordship Lane Estate or Crystal Palace Road." Unhelpfully, no mention of what the diverted route actually is.

*roadworks of the same patch of road that was dug up just a few weeks earlier.

I believe the buses are going down Barry road, not sure what they do after or before that.
