Carriageway surfacing works was finished between Perry Street Roundabout and
Howbury Lane Roundabout this month. The last 50m of carriageway in front of
London House on the north side was surfaced. The carriageway between Howbury
Lane Roundabout and Kennet Road is finished. Most of the footpaths have also
been surfaced to binder course along these sections to permit pedestrian use.
The footpath in front of London House going around to Howbury Lane will be
blacked this month. The majority of the central reserves have been completed
from Perry Street Roundabout to Kennet Road Roundabout. The only remaining
sections that need preparation are located at London House and outside Bookers.
These sections were used as cross over points during the recent night shift
work on Howbury Lane.
Traffic is running on one lane in both directions between Perry Street and
Kennet Road to allow remaining road works to continue.
 The Howbury Lane roundabout surfacing works were completed this month.
The following footpaths are closed to allow the next sections of road and
footpaths to be prepared for the surfacing visit this month: The north footpath
between Kennet road roundabout to Crayford Way and the footpath between London
House and Howbury Lane north side.
Kennet Road to Crayford Way north carriageway will be finished this month.
Once this section is surfaced the traffic will be swapped onto it releasing
the south section of new road works between Mayplace Avenue and Crayford Way.
The next Crayford Way phase will be finished this month. Traffic will be switched
over to allow access into By-way 103 in front of the Jolly Farmer Public House.
This will release the final section of Crayford Way Roundabout.
 The south side from Crayford Way to the final tie near the Railway Bridge
over the new River Cray bridge was surfaced this month and traffic is currently
running on it. Once the next Crayford Way phase is finished all the traffic
will be switched onto the new south carriageway over the new bridge which will
release the final section of road between Crayford Way and the final tie in
before the Railway Bridge over the existing river bridge on the north.
There is no right turn out of Mayplace Avenue to allow for the construction
works in the area to continue.
Howbury Lane - A traffic diversion remains in place to allow roadworks to
continue this month. The traffic will be diverted up around Perry Street Roundabout
to access Howbury Lane when coming from Dartford.
The Kennet Road roundabout has opened and greatly reduced the diversion that
had been necessary up to the Perry Street roundabout for the past few months.
TFL are continuing this month with the installation of the new traffic light
systems throughout the job.
The pedestrian guardrail and sign post subcontractors are continuing this
month.
The Anti Skid subcontractor has started this month on Perry Street Roundabout
