15 November (Part 2) - According to Bexley Council it’s the end of an era. Their last Abbey Wood road closure
This is what Bexley Council is saying about Harrow Manorway, the regeneration project started in May 2017 with completion scheduled for June/July 2018.
Next week, on the evenings of Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th November,
work will take place to resurface Harrow Manorway between the Sainsbury’s
roundabout and the traffic light controlled pedestrian crossing outside
Sainsbury’s. This is the final stage of resurfacing
work on the Harrow Manorway scheme. To enable the works to take place
safely, Harrow Manorway will be closed in both directions between the
Sainsbury’s roundabout and the Knee Hill roundabout. The work will start at
7pm on each night and traffic will be diverted via McLeod Road, Basildon
Road and Eynsham Drive.
It will be necessary to close Overton Road at the junction with Harrow
Manorway while the work is taking place. Vehicle access to Overton Road will
be maintained via Yarnton Way, Alsike Road, Rushdene and Sedgemere Road. A
fully signed diversion route will be in place. Sainsbury’s will be open for
business as usual and their car park can be accessed from the north side of
the Sainsbury’s roundabout (i.e. from Eynsham Drive/Yarnton Way direction).
There will be no vehicular access to the BP garage although their shop will
remain open.
As far as is practically possible, noisy operations will end around 11pm and
all works will finish no later than 2am. The road will reopen a couple of
hours later, depending on the time it takes for the surface to harden and weather conditions.
TfL bus services will follow the diversion routes and they will publicise these separately.
