The appearance of a dot matrix sign warning of closures of Putney Bridge is causing some confusion for residents.
The warning message on the board on Lower Richmond Road reads ‘Putney Bridge Closures 10 – 18 February. Diversion in place.’
However, no sign has been placed nearer the bridge and no other information appears online about any closures.
A roadworks bulletin issued by the borough streetworks team this Friday (7 February) does not mention anything about it.
We have contacted the Wandsworth Council press office and the streetworks team directly for further information but have not received a response.
According to a post on the Putney Society’s Facebook page, the work is taking place overnight and is needed to enable the installation of road sensors for the recently installed traffic lights. No information is suggest on a likely diversion route and the times of operation of any closure.
