A temporary footpath closure will be in place as works continue on the Lewisham Gateway regeneration scheme.

From September 2, a section of pavement on Loampit Vale, close to the DLR, will be closed to pedestrians.

The pavement was originally closed earlier this month but re-opened due to complications.

Additional signage and safety barriers will be installed and extra marshalls on hand to ensure pedestrians use a route along Station Road, which fully opened to pedestrians on August 7.

Bus stops outside the station have already been closed with alternative stops available outside Lewisham Police Station.

The bus stops will return to Station Road, outside the DLR station and along Molesworth Street in Spring 2016.

The closure is needed to complete the culvert for the River Ravensbourne and create a new pedestrianised area at the centre of Lewisham Gateway.
