Lubbock Road in Chislehurst to close for 9 days for works

Lubbock Road will close for up to nine non-consecutive days from Monday, May 4, 2026, to allow crane operations for ongoing construction, according to the Public Notice Portal.

The closure, announced by the London Borough of Bromley, will affect the section of Lubbock Road outside Oechbrooke House, between the junctions with Lower Camden and Porrington Close.

The closure will take place on the following dates: Monday, May 4 at 8am to Tuesday, May 5 at 6pm; Monday, June 1 at 8am to Tuesday, June 2 at 6pm; Monday, June 29 at 8am to Tuesday, June 30 at 6pm; and Monday, July 6 at 8am to Wednesday, July 8 at 6pm.

The proposed dates are subject to change dependant on progress at the work site.

Displaced vehicles will be directed via Lower Camden, Chislehurst Road, and Old Hill in both directions.

The order will come into effect on Monday, May 4, 2026, with no specified finish date.

Access to properties will be maintained, but vehicles will need to follow the diversion routes in place.

Emergency and pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the duration of the works, and vehicles involved in the construction will be exempt from the restrictions.

The closure is being implemented to allow AVF Developments (Orpington) Ltd to safely carry out crane operations for a new development in the area.

Although the order is set to last for a maximum period of 18 months, the works are expected to take no more than nine non-consecutive days.

During the closures, restrictions will only apply when indicated by traffic signs.

Nothing in this Order shall apply to anything done with the permission or direction of a Police Officer in uniform or Civil Enforcement Officer.

Residents seeking more information about the closure or diversion arrangements are advised to contact the environmental services team.

The council’s environmental services department (street services section) can be reached on 020 8461 7507.

The order is being issued under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (as amended), Section 14.

The notice has been published by Daniel Jones, director of environment and public protection at Bromley Civic Centre, Churchill Court, 2 Westmoreland Road, Bromley, BR1 1AS.
