The A20 Lee High Road, a busy route in South London, is currently closed in both directions this Saturday morning, October 21. The closure affects the stretch between Halley Gardens and Eastdown Park in Lewisham, leading to severe traffic congestion and delays.
Lee High Road is home to numerous shops and businesses, including the Europcar rental garage, which are experiencing disruption due to the road closure. Local shoppers and commuters are facing difficulties as the shutdown impacts their travel and access to the area.
At least five bus routes have been diverted to avoid the blocked section of the road. Passengers are advised to expect delays and to check their travel plans before setting out.
The exact cause of the emergency closure has not yet been disclosed. The Metropolitan Police are investigating the incident involving a person hit by a vehicle and have been contacted for further updates, but details remain limited at this time.
