Sunday's Road closures

I wonder if anyone can give me a steer. I need to drive from East Putney to the M4 tomorrow. It seems that I might be stuck until at least 7.30pm tomorrow as Putney High Street will be closed. Might I be better parking in West Putney tonight so I don't have to cross PHS tomorrow and so not get blocked. Any suggestions from those who have experienced the road closures before will be hugely gratefully received. Thanks,John

Parking in West Putney will certainly avoid going across PHS. PHS itself will be closed; in previous years traffic on the URR has been allowed to cross PHS when there are gaps in the cycle race but the queues on the URR have looked very bad.

Just stay east of Putney hill and then join the A3 on west hill.  Tibbets corner goes under the route.

Two way traffic across Putney Bridge into Lower Richmond Rd using half the bridge while the cyclists use the other half. Very little traffic on URR but when there’s a gap in the stream of cyclists they let vehicles cross at Putney Cross. No chaos. Lots of relaxed folk on foot and on bike just enjoying the lack of traffic.
