Road closure - EDG.

[mlteenie]

Anyone know what is occurring? Started last night. Currently diversion down Hillsboro Rd.

And using Trossachs Road like a racetrack.

it's Thames Water

[Guest]

Thanks for the heads up.

I’m enjoying the ED Grove LTN, lovely to cycle and walk in, may it stay closed permanently 😆. When Thames thieving Water finally complete the urgent works (hole in the road and no work going on all today), take care if on a bike or motorbike as the flooding has caused very dangerous potholes.

I’d expect there to be road re-surfacing given how badly the water leak has broken up the road surface.

I hope that for the sake of anyone riding or cycling in the dark, this area is very well marked and cordoned off. I have known a number of cyclists suffer extremely nasty injuries as a result of holes and cracks in the road.

There are also really bad pitted holes further up near the school and hospital - mainly in the areas cyclists use near the pavement. I have no idea why the pavement and road surfaces of this road used by so many children walking and cycling to school is so poorly served by whoever is responsible for maintenance. 
A note to all the people driving up to the barrier and forced to do a u-ey,  when there are 4 x road closed signs….. maybe the road is closed. Doh!

Where is the barrier?  Can people who need to get to the Tessa Jowell Health Centre  by car reach it from Lordship Lane?

Coming from LL direction there is no problem getting into TJHC

There is info on TFL  https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/status/?input=37&lineIds=37&direction=inbound

EAST DULWICH GROVE, SE22: ROUTE 37 is on diversion in both directions via Red Post Hill, Denmark Hill, Champion Park, Grove Lane, Dog Kennel Hill and Grove Vale due to Thames Water works taking place at East Dulwich Grove

Look on the bright side. More buses between Denmark hill and Goose green

 HA! If only . . .

The other night I took the 37 from Herne Hill to Goose Green, only it was diverted via Denmark Hill.

That would have been ok, except when the driver reached the junction for Denmark Hill she wasn't allowed to turn right as there were road works on Dog Kennel Hill starting at 8pm and all buses were being diverted via Camberwell Church St and Rye Lane. 

I got off there at Kings College Hospital, as I figured it was closer to home than Peckham . . . 

Still good for my step count I suppose.
