SOE10961 – Longdon Wood, Bromley (Forest Drive, Ebury Close, Beech Dell, Park Ave)

Update: 29.04.2026

We currently have two teams working on this project, operating in separate areas to complete the works as efficiently as possible.

Team One completed all works in Beech Dell last week. Reinstatement has now been finished, and the road has been fully cleared of all site equipment and traffic management.

This week, the team has moved into Ebury Close, where works will be completed before progressing to Park Avenue to finish the final section outside 1–5 Park Avenue.

Reinstatement works are following closely behind on all completed sections, and we anticipate that once engineering works are finished in each road, reinstatement will follow approximately 3–5 days later.

Team Two is continuing to work in Forest Drive, carrying out the required open-cut excavation works along this section. The team is making good progress and currently expects these works to be completed within the next 3–4 weeks.

We apologise for any inconvenience these works may cause. Once completed, all works within the estate will be finished.
