Sorry a re-post - my last reply made no sense.
Anyway:
Thanks cbma - i was confused about the area - its good to see they're deciding to change the area around the Queen Alexandrea bridge - although its going to be a nightmare when it starts!, this new road is a good idea, least it'll take the strain off the other roads leading to the new bridge...or will this be the only access to the bridge (sure i read there will be road next to Pallion retail Park leading on to the bridge?)
Hopefully once its completed - the area will open new developments, in all honestly i think the whole area needs it, get rid of everything on the river - which isn't used.
In all honestly this will be a nightmare, the work starts in 2017 - the year where the bridge is nearly complete BUT not quite (with the surrounding roads being closed either temporarily or permanently) - as its expected to be finished in 2018. I would hope that in 2017 - the work will be around Deptford will done... demolishing buildings, if needed etc and so on, then once bridge is completed and opened then work would start at the Queen Alexandrea bridge - replacing the roundabout etc...
I think the work will go ahead for these changes to the area, i just hope the council don't keep delaying it! (remember this is only the planning stages!)
I don't see a page 2 on the link.
