Work to start this summer on Gallows Corner bridge rebuild
Transport for London has given Costain the go-ahead to completely renew and strengthen the ageing Gallows Corner flyover in Romford, East London.
Gallows Corner flyover was built in the 1970s as a temporary structure.
It is now in a very poor condition and in urgent need of renewal. Speed and weight restrictions have been in place for several years.
Now the go-ahead has been given for a major renewal project that will involve replacement of the entire structure, other than its foundations.
Costain will also build new pedestrian and cycle crossings.
Prelimary works will start next month ahead of a full closure of the junction in the summer to allow this vital work to take place.
The project is being funded by the DfT’s Major Road Network Programme and the Mayor of London.
TfL continues to work with the DfT towards the funding of further schemes as part of the Major Road Network programme, including renewals schemes at Brent Cross and Croydon flyovers and Catford town centre.
