Bexley Council has announced that three roads in the borough will close at various points over the next three weeks while resurfacing work is done.

The work will take place overnight and the roads involved are Erith High Street, Bexley Road and Wharfside Close.

To minimise disruption the works will take place on weeknights, Monday to Friday only, and in three stages, with road closures and signed diversions in place from 7pm to 2am.

Access for residents in Erith High Street and Saltford Close will be maintained but will be controlled by a traffic marshal with traffic held until it is safe to move through.

Access will be either from Walnut Tree Road or Wharfside Close depending on the stage the works is at.

Erith High Street will be made two-way temporarily to enable this.

Stage two - Bexley Road closure: Monday, March 6 to Wednesday, March 8.
