Enjoy Christmas. Looks like Sydenham will be blockaded at both ends in the New Year. Here is Lewisham's advisory:
Phase 1 ongoing until mid December
Phase I Transco are currently working at Jews Walk junction and using temporary signals to control single lane alternate traffic. Works will be complete in early December.
Phase II Between Jan & March 2005
Phase II Transco works in Sydenham Road between Silverdale and Mayow Road will start in late January and Lewisham’s planned works in Kirkdale, at its junctions with Dartmouth Road and Sydenham Park, will start once Transco works allow, probably straight after Christmas.
