There will be a series of lane restrictions affecting Battersea Bridge Road across Battersea Bridge, between Cambridge Road on the south side and Cheyne Walk on the north.
Work will start at the junction with Cambridge Road and progress north one junction at a time. This is while we deliver the Battersea Bridge safety improvements scheme. Some local roads will also be closed where required, with signed diversions in place.
Dear Members,
We have received formal confirmation today from the Department for Transport (DfT) that the regulations regarding exemptions from the Accessible Information requirements for rail replacement services have now been published. You can access the details via the following link:

A total of 546 operators have been granted exemptions, and the operator’s licence number for each is listed in the published regulations. If you have not yet received direct notification from DfT regarding your application status, we recommend reviewing the operator’s licence list to confirm your exemption.

With Best Wishes,
