South Circular roadworks - excessive disruption

[Rockets]

Is it Thames Water again?

What work are they doing outside ED station? Another route in and out of Dulwich disrupted...it's becoming a badly organised joke.

No idea, but whatever it was was backing up the traffic right up Lordship Lane.

There were four way (it said) lights before the roadworks, and a whole lane of the road dug up (on the station side).

I'm not sure, but think it might be. Looked like there were pipes going in.

Walked past yesterday, it's not Thames Water, but Conway on behalf of Southwark Council. 

Don't know why they couldn't have done it alongside the night time resurfacing of that stretch a couple of weeks back.

Ah so it's part of the Melbourne Grove Streets for People works then. Madness that the council goes ahead with this when there are so many other works disrupting traffic in the area but I suspect year end budget surplus spends are at play here. Who at the council is responsible for the co-ordination of this type of thing?

New advice on these works

Thanks for this. Useful to know. Glad they're doing this overnight, otherwise it would be a nightmare.

This is the second page which I failed to save properly. Sorry

Walking past the road works yesterday and it looks like they were making good progress.  Traffic at 5.30 pm coming up from LL fairly light and no tail back.  Thames Water works by Mount Adon a pain, but TW a different story....

Overnight works / road surfacing that should have happened last night, and tonight, have apparently been postponed for a month. No letters. No follow ups. Just word of mouth amongst businesses opposite the junction 🫣😶😩 apparently due to TW leak that has sprung up - not that I can see where, but the local rumour mill is rumouring. 

Glad so much progress can now be seen, but it’s gonna take longer to complete than the originally planned: “13 weeks from 3 March” 😶‍🌫️. Does anyone have any confirmed / solid progress updates?
