Greenwich’s Red Lion Lane to Undergo Repair Works
Residents and commuters in Greenwich will need to plan alternative routes as Red Lion Lane is set to close for repairs. Southern Gas Network will be conducting service disconnection works starting on Monday, October 7. The closure is expected to last for six days, with the possibility of extending up to 18 months, although the actual works should be completed within the initial timeframe.
The closure will be situated outside number 114 of Red Lion Lane. To facilitate traffic flow, vehicles will be diverted via Constitution Rise and Shooters Hill. During the repair period, the road will be temporarily converted into a two-way street to accommodate the traffic diversions.
Fortunately, pedestrians will not be impacted by the closure, and vehicle access will be maintained wherever possible. The Royal Borough of Greenwich has issued the closure order under section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to ensure the smooth execution of the repair works.
A spokesperson for the Royal Borough of Greenwich explained, “The Royal Borough of Greenwich intends to make this Order in exercise of powers under section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. This is to facilitate works by Southern Gas Network who need to carry out service disconnection works.”
