The work is going well and the first phase that should have lasted two weeks will be completed in one. This seems to mean that Phase 2 will start on Monday 29 July, and last two weeks.
So – you wont be able to turn left out of Elmers End Road onto Croydon Rd from Sunday night at 10pm, and the end of Clock House Road will be closed (but it’s not clear if this will be from the 29th, or later as they get closer to it.) You will be able to to turn right out of Elmers End Road onto Croydon Road.
