Bexley High Street mains replacement
We're planning to replace ageing water mains along Bexley High Street. This will make the water network more reliable, lower the risk of bursts, and ensure a better water supply for customers and businesses. We'll deliver the project in manageable phases to reduce disruption and keep access open as much as possible.

How this may affect you
Before the main work begins, we need to remove a traffic island and add a temporary crossing. This is to support the Bexley High Street diversion route and allow buses and larger vehicles more room to turn safely.
A temporary push-button pedestrian crossing will be installed and maintained throughout the works to ensure safe pedestrian access.
Traffic management
Throughout this project, a road closure will be set up on Bexley High Street. A diversion route will be signposted. To minimise disruption, these works will be completed in 5 phases. Footpath access will be maintained.
There will also be parking suspensions and bus stop suspensions and diversions. You can plan your bus journey online.
