What are we doing?

We are going to construct a new 4-metre-wide pedestrian crossing across Morden Road at its junction with Merantun Way. We will also remove a pedestrian refuge island and making a straight crossing on the east bound lanes on Merantun Way. As part of the works, a Pedestrian Countdown will be added at the traffic signals to assist pedestrians and improve safety as part of TfL’s Vision Zero plan.

Below you can find out more about what we will be doing. If you have any questions about the scheme, then you can ask them here or email us.

Why are we doing it?

The A24 Morden Road junction with Merantun Way is part for the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) located in the south Wimbledon area.

We have identified that the current junction has a green person crossing across Merantun Way, but there is no facility for pedestrians wishing to cross A24 Morden Road.

The site is close to the High Path Estate which has been undergoing regeneration which now includes 800 new homes and the Harris Academy Wimbledon. The school has been open for two years, but it does not have a playground / playing field and uses the nearby Nursery Road Playing Fields for this purpose. To access the playing fields, school children must cross Morden Road and the nearest green person crossing point is away from the junction (300m to the south and 100m to the north from the desire line). The proposed new crossing will help school children access the playing field more safely.

The improvements will also assist people walking in the area, particularly vulnerable road users who find the existing junction difficult to navigate.

What will the impacts be?

The traffic modelling which was carried out on this scheme to assess the impact on general traffic and buses showed that the impact to other road users would be negligible.

When will we start to build it?

We are currently scheduling the works to commence on site in early 2025 and they are expected to take approximately 8 weeks to complete.
