Broadmead Road update - Friday, 15 September 2023

Redbridge Council has issued the following update concerning the part closure of Broadmead Road, Woodford.

Surveys of the structure on Broadmead Road took place recently, and the engineers have confirmed the decision to close the structure was necessary.

Our Highways Team have commissioned designers to start producing designs for the propping up of the bridge. Further surveys will be carried out shortly, which will inform what other measures will be needed to allow some traffic over the bridge.

We're waiting for confirmation from our designers on how long it will take for the props to be designed, produced and installed. There is currently no impact on the operation of the Central Line. Emergency services will have to use alternative routes for the time being.

We apologise for any inconvenience this is causing.
