It’s getting competitive. ThamesWater ‘own’ the roadworks at the Crystal Palace Park Road end. How many times has that been closed in the last couple of years?
But no this time. SGN the gas network company have closed the Westwood Hill end plus, as a bonus, northbound Westwood Hill. You can still get down the hill to the Kirkdale Roundabout. The guy in charge hopes it will be sorted by the end of the week. But it’s a patch not a replacement so they anticipate it won’t be the last time.
The problem is the original 100+ year old cast iron main that origiinated at the old Bell Green gasworks. Plastic and iron don’t always stick together in our movable clay soil.
176 & 197 are on diversion via Sydenham Hill and Crystal Palace Park Road.
Lawrie Park Road closed (again)
