A200 Tower Bridge closure - Saturday 1 October to Friday 30 December 2016

The City of London Corporation is planning essential major works to Tower Bridge. The works will require a full closure of the bridge to all vehicle traffic from Saturday 1 October until Friday 30 December 2016.

The closure of Tower Bridge extends from the junction of Tower Bridge Road and Queen Elizabeth Street on the south side to the traffic lights by the A100 Tower Bridge Road and A1203 East Smithfield junction on the north side. There are two diversion routes in place, depending on the direction of travel:

-         Northbound: Crossing over London Bridge from Borough High Street to Monument and east onto East Cheap Street or Fenchurch Street

-         Southbound: Crossing over Southwark Bridge from Upper Thames Street to Southwark Bridge Road/Marshalsea Road and onto Great Dover Street

Tower Bridge is currently on the boundary route for the Congestion Charging zone - vehicles crossing Tower Bridge do not incur the Congestion Charge. During the closure, 'charge free' signs will be in place to guide drivers through the diversions. Deviating from the signed route during charging hours (Monday-Friday 07:00-18:00) without paying the daily charge may incur a penalty charge. For more information, please click here

London Bridge

To facilitate Network Rail's work at London Bridge station, A200 Tooley Street is closed to eastbound traffic from Borough High Street to Bermondsey Street until February 2018. A signed diversion route is in place via Borough High Street, Great Dover Street and Tower Bridge Road.

From 01:00 Saturday 27 August until 05:00 Tuesday 30 August, Tooley Street will also be closed to traffic from Borough High Street to Bermondsey Street. Controlled entry will be maintained for deliveries. For more information and travel advice for drivers, please click here

Ardleigh Green Bridge (LB Havering) - Saturday 23 July to December 2017

As part of our Road Modernisation Plan, we are replacing the Ardleigh Green Bridge, which carries the A127 Southend arterial road over the East Anglia Railway. From Sunday 24 July, only two lanes of traffic will be operational (one lane in each direction). The Essex-bound carriageway will close completely and two-way traffic will operate on the other side of the road, with a contraflow in place from Gallows Corner to Squirrels Heath Road, until December 2017.

To put the contraflow in place, there is an overnight closure on the A127 from 20:00 Saturday 23 until 08:00 Sunday 24 July. This full road closure will be from Gallows Corner to the Ardleigh Green Road/Squirrels Heath Road junction.

Access to the A127 from Bryant Avenue will also be closed until May 2017 while demolition and replacement of the eastern half (the Essex-bound carriageway) takes place. Access into Bryant Avenue from the A127 will be available during this time, apart from specific dates that will be publicised nearer to the time. For more information, please click here

Hammersmith flyover

A short programme of repair works for the flyover is being currently being planned, but we anticipate that there will be either westbound closures or a contraflow in place for two weekends:

-        Friday 12 until Monday 15 August

-        Friday 20 until Monday 23 August

We should be able to confirm timings and details next week.
