A suspected gas leak has meant that West Hill road has been closed, while the gas suppliers carry out emergency repairs.
SGN has been forced to close the road I the interest of safety while they undertake the repairs.
#Wandsworth The A3 West Hill is still closed due to a gas leak from Upper Richmond Road to Portinscale Road. This is also causing delays on the one way system to South Circular Road.

The work will continue until the end of the week and, following a consultation with TFL and Wandsworth Council, motorists travelling from Wandsworth High Street are being diverted via Upper Richmond Road and Roehampton Lane.
Hannah Brett, a spokesperson for SGN said: “We appreciate roadworks can be frustrating and we thank motorists and residents for your support while we carry out these emergency repairs.”
