Thames Water Norwood Road water main works in 2020

Updated: 6 and 10 January 2020

To recap, Thames Water will now be reopening all roads and removing all portacabins and compounds by Tuesday 24 December. They have sent us the attached drawings for the 2020 phases, which show:

Phase 3A from Sunday 5 January 2020:

Traffic and pedestrian movement:

  • A short one way traffic section from Robson Road to the southern arm of Waylett Place
  • Robson Road will remain open eastbound, but there will be no right turn from northbound Norwood Road
  • Chestnut Road junction will be closed to traffic; the vegetable stall is unaffected
  • Lansdowne Hill junction will be closed to traffic eastbound only
  • The pedestrian crossings outside Tesco and Co-Op will be closed
  • Leigham Vale: completely closed to traffic

Buses:

  • Retention of the southbound 322 down Robson Road
  • Rerouting of the northbound 322 along Rosendale Road, south circular and Lancaster Avenue, with a temporary bus stop on Lancaster Avenue. Robson Road bus stops R and W are closed
  • Closure of northbound bus stops M (Sainsburys Local) and N (Efes restaurant). This means there is no stop for routes 68/468/X68/N68/432/2/196/315/N2 from West Norwood station until north of York Hill/Lancaster Avenue junction. There were plans to relocate these bus stops rather than close them, and we are trying to ascertain why this did not happen and the implications for later works
  • Closure of southbound Norwood Road bus stop (68/468/X68/N68/432/2/196/315/N2) near Tesco  

Phase 4A from Friday 14 February 2020:

Traffic and pedestrian movement:

  • Extension of the existing one way traffic section from Robson Road to Chatsworth Way
  • Robson Road will remain open eastbound, with no right turn from northbound Norwood Road
  • Chestnut Road junction will be reopened to traffic
  • Lansdowne Hill junction remains closed to traffic eastbound only
  • Waylett Place one way traffic is reversed
  • Chatsworth Way junction is closed to traffic
  • The pedestrian crossings outside Tesco and Co-Op remain closed
  • Leigham Vale: remains completely closed to traffic

Buses:

  • Retention of the southbound 322 down Robson Road
  • Closure of northbound bus stops N & M. This means there will be no northbound bus stops from opposite West Norwood station until past York Hill 
  • Closure of southbound Norwood Road bus stop near Tesco
  • Rerouting of the northbound 322 continues: along Rosendale Road, the south circular and Lancaster Avenue, with a temporary bus stop on Lancaster Avenue. Robson Road bus stops R and W remain closed
