Closures ahead on Lady Wakehurst Drive

Motorists are advised Lady Wakehurst Drive will be temporarily closed between McKell Avenue and Otford Lookout next week while maintenance work is carried out.

Lady Wakehurst Drive will be closed in both directions from Tuesday 20 to Thursday 22 October 2026 between 8am and 3pm, weather permitting. 

Detours will be in place via McKell Avenue, the M1 Princes Motorway and Lawrence Hargrave Drive. 

Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, follow the directions of signs and traffic control and allow an additional 10 minutes of travel time.

During the closure, cyclists can detour via the same route used by motorists. Cyclists can also access Otford Train Station via Domville Road and Lady Carrington Road.
