Beckenham Improvements work update 30 April
Phase 4 works 116 to 180 High Street.
Completed works
- Kerbing has continued to The Drive whilst the paving has almost been completed.
- The wall outside Beckenham Junction station has been rebuilt.
The project team are aware that having to divert pedestrian access on to rough granite setts parking areas has been uncomfortable for some residents. However this has been necessitated by maintaining access to shops during opening hours.
Next week’s works.
- Footway and kerbing to The Drive will be completed.
- On Beckenham Green the entrance bollards will be removed and further temporary resurfacing will be laid in preparation of the final resurfacing.
- Preliminary work starts outside Lidl and working towards the junction of Kelsey Square with The High Street.
- Yellow parking restriction lines will be painted between WH Smith and Costa Coffee Shop to ensure sufficient road widths to maintain traffic flows.
Hours of Operation
In order to maintain access to all shop entrances pavement laying will have to be conducted out of normal hours between 6pm and 8pm on some days. We do understand that this can be a nuisance and FM Conway will endeavour to keep noise disturbance to a minimum during these times.
Traffic Management
From Monday the 30th of April there will be no left hand turns from Village Way onto the High Street and from Kelsey Square onto the High Street. The right hand turn from The Drive onto The High Street will also be restricted. All traffic will be sent on the main diversion along the High Street heading towards Beckenham junction then onto Rectory Road. This is likely to be in place until the end of the project to allow the contractor to work safely in those areas.
From Monday 14th of May the section of High Street between Bromley Road and Manor Road will revert back to two way traffic. At the same time there will be traffic changes to Burnhill Road and Kelsey Lane, residents in these affected roads will be letter dropped shortly with a further update.
