£9,500,000 upgrade begins on ‘dangerous’ London road with dozens of crashes

Motorists are set to face long delays on a major road in south London from next month as huge works are set to begin.
The A23 in Streatham Hill, south London, is going to have a £9.5 million refurbishment, which will see pedestrian crossings built, a protected cycle lane added and bus lanes improved.
The improvements will see the old central reservation removed across the 0.6-mile stretch between the junctions of Holmewood Road on Brixton Hill and Sternhold Avenue junction on Streatham Hill.
