Next week, starting from 5 August, the gas suppliers (SGN) are doing major work to upgrade their network at the Acre Lane/Brixton Hill/Brixton Road/Coldharbour Lane junction. These works will last approximately 5 weeks. Works will take place 7am to 7pm, seven days a week.

Various roads and junctions will be affected. Brixton Hill and Effra Lane will be reduced southbound to one lane and Acre Lane eastbound to one lane. From Monday 19 August, Buses and HGV’s will be unable to turn right from Acre Lane onto Brixton Hill. Signed diversions will be in place via Effra Road and St. Matthews Road. There may be significant disruption to traffic through Brixton throughout August.
