Construction at Tideway’s Deptford Church Street site is progressing well, with all work within the shaft that leads down to the tunnel now complete. Next, we are moving on to the testing and commissioning phase for the new sewer system. Alongside this, landscaping works will transform the current worksite into an improved public space and playground.
In November 2022 the London Borough of Lewisham gave the green light for our landscape design and for the new permanent structures. Please see our information sheet for further details.
Southbound closure - Deptford Church Street
From mid-August we have been working on an existing sewer underneath Deptford Church Street. This requires the team to work around eight metres below ground and will take around three months to complete. Due to the depth of excavation required, there will be period of around three weeks when we will need to break out some concrete, which may be noisy, before installing temporary sheet piles.
These planned works will mean the southbound closure of Deptford Church Street to vehicles from 26 August. Traffic will be diverted via Norman Road and Greenwich High Road. Pedestrian access along Deptford Church Street will not be affected.
Read our latest information sheet for more details - August 2024.
Footway closure across Deptford Creek
From 14 October 2024, the current, temporary footway adjacent to the Network Rail viaduct by Greenwich Pumping Station will be closed as we return the footway and C10 cycleway to its original alignment under the DLR viaduct. There will be no route across Deptford Creek during the closure for pedestrians or cyclists. Signage is in place at either end of the closure detailing the alternative route.
We expect the closure to be in place for 4 weeks and will reopen the route when it is safe to do so. Read our Greenwich site information sheet here and see the map of diversion route here.
