Update: King Street To Stay Open During This Week's Work

Temporary traffic lights will manage traffic during final repairs following flooding

King Street will stay open this week during repairs to the road surface, according to the latest update from Hammersmith & Fulham Council.

This is a change from previous plans to close the street in order to complete the repairs following the recent major flooding.

The council's update says that while King Street is currently open to traffic in both directions, further work will need to be carried out by Thames Water to resurface the larger areas affected by the burst water main.

This work is being scheduled for next week, between Monday 19 and Friday 23 February, though a definite start date is not yet confirmed, and will take two to three days.

This work will NOT require the closure of the road, but there will be temporary traffic lights to manage the two-way traffic flow during the works.

The clear up work follows a burst water main which led to major flooding on King Street throughout the evening of 26 January.

Meanwhile Goldhawk Road, which also suffered severe flooding after a major burst pipe, is still closed near the junction with Hammersmith Grove.

The damage is more extensive here than at King Street and Thames Water expect the repairs to last until 3 March. Thames Water has now reopened Hammersmith Grove to northbound traffic only. On reaching the junction with Goldhawk Road, traffic can ONLY turn left (westbound).
