Comerford Road in Lewisham to Close for Thames Water Works

April 22, 2026

Lewisham residents in the Brockley area face a temporary road closure on Comerford Road next month. The closure is necessary for essential utility works by Thames Water. Motorists should prepare for diversions.

The Details

Comerford Road is scheduled to shut between May 26 and May 28, 2026, to facilitate Thames Water works. The closure will affect the stretch from its junction with Brockley Road to opposite 2 Comerford Road. During this period, no parking or waiting will be permitted along the affected section of the road. A diversion route will be in operation, directing traffic via Brockley Road, Howson Road, Braxfield Road, and Whitbread Road. The works are part of planned maintenance to ensure water supply reliability.

Community Impact

The temporary closure may cause minor disruption for local residents and commuters in the Brockley area. Lewisham Council has proposed these measures to support critical infrastructure maintenance. Such works are vital for maintaining the borough's water network. Thames Water aims to minimise disruption during their operations.
