Bexley Council has issued a series of public notices detailing upcoming temporary road closures and traffic restrictions across the borough, set to commence from mid-June 2026. These measures are being implemented to facilitate essential highway improvement works and utility maintenance.

Roadworks in Bexleyheath and Erith

In Bexleyheath, Lion Road will experience a prohibition of traffic and parking restrictions from 23 June 2026 for approximately two days to allow for highway improvement works by a council contractor. Alternative routes will be signposted via Broadway, Devonshire Road, and Standard Road. Additionally, Chieveley Road, Dorothy Evans Close, and Springfield Road will face traffic prohibitions from 24 June 2026 for up to two days, also for highway improvement works by JB Riney on behalf of the council. Diversions will be in place via Pinnacle Hill and Erith Road.

Erith will see Hemsted Road and Highstead Crescent subject to road closures at their junctions with Frinsted Road from 18 June 2026 for an estimated 18 months, to enable mains replacement works by Galliford Try for Thames Water. Lesney Park will also experience closures between Lesney Park Road and Elm Grove, and Elm Grove itself will have restrictions at its junction with Lesney Park, from 18 June 2026 for up to 18 months, for water mains replacement by Galliford Try on behalf of Thames Water.

Sidcup and Welling Restrictions

Station Road in Sidcup will be subject to a traffic prohibition between numbers 111 and 109 from 22 June 2026 for approximately two days, to allow Amey Consulting South East Anglia to conduct a detailed examination of a railway bridge on behalf of Network Rail. Alternative routes will be via Hatherley Crescent and Faraday Avenue. Meanwhile, Burnell Avenue in Welling will be closed from its dead end to Lovell Avenue from 22 June 2026 for an estimated four days, to facilitate highway improvement works by a council contractor. Access for residents and emergency vehicles will be maintained where possible.

Planning Applications and Conservation Areas

Beyond roadworks, the council has also issued notices regarding planning applications within conservation areas. Applications for planning permission, including major developments, have been lodged within The Parkhurst Conservation Area and the Erith Riverside Conservation Area. Notices have also been issued for applications that may affect the setting of a listed building. Further details on these planning applications and the specific roads affected by temporary traffic orders can be found on the London Borough of Bexley's public notices section.
