Petersham Road to benefit from resurfacing works as part of record £21 million investment

Improvement works will begin on Petersham Road later this month, as part of our ambitious £21 million investment programme to upgrade roads and pavements across the borough.

From Monday 23 to Friday 27 June, overnight resurfacing works will take place on Petersham Road between Star and Garter Hill and Meadow Close. The works will involve removing the existing surface and laying a new, high-quality carriageway. To minimise disruption, the works will be conducted between 9pm and 5am each night, with a full road closure and signed diversions in place. The road will be open as usual outside working hours.

While vehicular access will be restricted during working hours, emergency vehicle and pedestrian access will be maintained. Temporary parking restrictions will be clearly marked with high-visibility cones, and any vehicles left in coned areas may be subject to removal and fines. 

These works form part of our wider commitment to keeping the borough moving through record levels of investment in local infrastructure. The £21 million programme is delivering safer, smoother and more sustainable streets for all who live, work and travel in the borough.
