Phase two of the road closures in Orpington High Street is set to begin today (May 14).
The works, led by contractor Riney, have been split into three phases across a two-week period.
The first phase started on May 7, with the road closed at the Homefield Rise junction.
The closure will affect the area around the NatWest Bank and was in place until May 10.
Phase two will start today on May 14, with the War Memorial roundabout and Zebra Crossing affected.
This closure is set to last until May 17.
During this time, traffic will be rerouted via Homefield Rise, Gravel Pit Way, and Spur Road in both directions.
Again, all businesses will remain accessible, with access to Knoll Rise maintained through the Homefield Rise roundabout.
Bromley Council has clarified that there may be a lack of site presence while the materials cure before traffic can drive over it.
The final phase will commence on May 21, this time affecting Homefield Rise at the junction with Orpington High Street.
Temporary three-way traffic signals will be installed at this roundabout and will remain in place until May 24.
While access to businesses will be consistent during this final phase, there may be delays due to the temporary traffic lights.
