The third phase of our improvements on Plumstead High Street will start on Monday 23 March, making the area safer and more accessible for pedestrians and road users with new crossings, footways and a carriageway surface.
The work is expected to last around six weeks, with temporary traffic signals in place to keep the road open for the duration.
The improvements will focus on the mini roundabout at the junction of Plumstead High Street and Wickham Lane, which will see:
- A new zebra crossing on the eastern arm of the roundabout
- Updating the existing zebra crossing
- Widening the pedestrian island and footways
- Updated road markings
- Resurfacing the road
A council spokesperson said: “The continuation of our work on Plumstead High Street will make the area safer and easier to navigate for everyone.
“Pedestrians will benefit from the new zebra crossings and wider footways, making it safer and more seamless than ever to walk around the High Street, while road users will see fresh road markings and a resurfaced road for smoother, safer travel.
“We’re sorry for any disruption the temporary lights may cause, and we’d like to thank local people for their patience while we’re improving the neighbourhood for everyone.”
Residents wishing to travel via Plumstead High Street for the next six weeks are advised to check their journey before they travel, allowing additional time if necessary.
