Two major roads in Croydon have reopened a week earlier than expected.
Coulsdon Road and Stites Hill Road closed on August 15.
Roadworks took place to replace drainage systems on Coulsdon Road, to prevent flooding in the area.
The initial plan was for the roadworks to be completed by August 25, but Croydon Council later announced that the roads would not be open until September 2.
However, roadworks were completed a week earlier than planned, and both Coulsdon Road and Stites Hill Road reopened today (August 27).
Croydon Council wrote in a statement on X: “Roadworks to repair a drainage system on Coulsdon Road will be finished ahead of schedule.
“Coulsdon Road is set to reopen on Tuesday, August 27.”
