Multiple roadworks are expected to cause significant congestion and disruptions on roads in Parsons Green until 2017.

THREE lots of maintenance work will be carried out by Vodafone, National Grid Gas and Thames Water in the area, with road and lane closures stretching into the new year.

The work, some of which is already under way, is expected to run until January 2017, and has been timed to coincide with the end of National Grid’s major gas pipe renewals in Kings Road, in Chelsea and Fulham .

Residents and road users in and around Parsons Green are now being advised to plan ahead to avoid disruption.

National Grid warned that its work in King's Road would cause disruption, and resulted with one man sleeping in his kitchen because of noise issues.

The mainstay of the work will see National Grid close Parsons Green Lane northbound to replace a gas mains pipe. The utility company has also identified two gas mains on New King’s Road which it intends to replace in October, using temporary traffic lights.

The Parsons Green Lane closure will be in place from October 17 to December 9, from New King’s Road to the railway bridge, then from the railway bridge to Fulham Road in January.

Thames Water works will require two-way traffic lights and a full closure at three individual sites along Wandsworth Bridge Road, on September 26, October 3 and October 10, respectively.

Vodafone has already begun working on the footway on New King’s Road which will last for another fortnight. Works to the crossing on Peterborough Road will be completed on consecutive Sundays.

Residents have been sent letters by National Grid to notify them of the work. For more information, or to register a complaint, call them on 0800 096 5678.
