Residents and commuters in Sidcup are advised to plan their journeys accordingly as Longlands Road will be partially closed from 12 August 2026 at 00:00 until 13 August 2026 at 00:00 due to ongoing roadworks. The location of the disruption is Longlands Road in the London Borough of Bexley, approximately 14 miles south-east of London city centre.

The London Borough of Bexley is responsible for managing the roadworks, which are classified as minor in severity but are expected to cause some disruption. Motorists are urged to exercise caution and consider alternative routes to avoid potential congestion in the area.

Those planning to travel on Longlands Road during the specified period are recommended to check traffic updates regularly and download a reputable traffic app to stay informed. While the closure is expected to have a moderate impact on traffic flow, drivers can still reach their destinations but may need to allow extra time for their journeys.

For those who need to travel through the area, it's essential to be aware of the alternative routes available. Motorists can utilise nearby roads such as Park Hill Road or Bexley Road to bypass the closure. However, these routes may also be subject to traffic congestion, so it's crucial to check traffic updates before embarking on your journey.

However, drivers should still be prepared for potential delays and consider leaving earlier to account for any unforeseen circumstances. The road closure is also expected to affect public transportation services, so commuters are advised to check with their operators for any changes to schedules.
