Local road network
Over the coming months, a number of works are expected to take place on the local road network. These are to support the next stage of the development, such as the diversion of utilities in advance of main construction activity. To help plan your journey, an overview of works expected to take place by British Land’s contractors or utility providers is included below.
British Land or utility providers will contact close residents in advance of any works beginning. All works on the public highway involve many months of discussion and co-ordination before permits are granted by Southwark Council. We appreciate that there will be disruption while this work is carried out, thank you for your ongoing patience.
Surrey Quays Road and Redriff Road
Morrison Water Services are carrying out utility diversion works along Redriff Road and Surrey Quays Road. To facilitate this, traffic management is expected to be in place in phases until the summer, with pedestrian access maintained. Morrison Water Services are minimising disruption as far as possible. Please be assured that the works will not impact the water supply.
In the coming months UK Power Networks expect to undertake cable installation works from the junction of Deal Porters Way to the junction of Needleman Street, requiring a single lane closure. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times and UK Power Networks will write to close neighbours in advance of any works beginning.
