A major road closure has been put into place on Old Brompton Road near Stamford Bridge due to critical utility upgrades. This closure affects the vicinity of Lillie Bridge, close to West Brompton Station, spanning from Seagrave Road to Eardley Crescent, and is expected to last for the entire duration of the project.

The closure's timing is especially significant as it coincides with the beginning of the Premier League season, with the local team scheduled to face Manchester City in their first match. Substantial traffic disruptions are anticipated in the surrounding areas, potentially causing delays for motorists.

To reduce congestion, a clearly marked detour has been established, directing vehicles away from the closed section. Despite the road closure, access to West Brompton Station will remain available, ensuring that public transportation options are still accessible for those attending the match.

Football fans across Europe are gearing up for an exciting weekend of matches, with several high-profile games scheduled. In Spain, Barcelona is set to take on Athletic Bilbao, while in Italy, a classic showdown between Juventus and Napoli is expected to draw significant attention. These matches, alongside the Premier League opener, are part of a thrilling weekend of football that fans won’t want to miss.

Additionally, in Germany, Bayern Munich will face off against Borussia Dortmund in what promises to be another intense clash between the two Bundesliga giants. As Europe’s top leagues resume, supporters are reminded to plan their journeys carefully, especially if attending these high-demand fixtures.

Given the potential for increased traffic and delays, supporters are strongly encouraged to use public transportation when traveling to the stadium. Transport for London’s journey planner is recommended for those looking to plan their route to the game in advance.
