Broadmead Road is closed between
Charteris Road and St Barnabas Road,
where it crosses the Central Line
Charteris Rd
Redbridge Council has issued an update on
Broadmead Road, which was partially closed
to traffic in July due to significant structural
defects to the bridge section over the Central
Line tracks. “The council is working closely
with TfL to speed up the survey work where
possible. To reopen Broadmead Road will
require extensive construction work and is
expected to take a significant amount of time.
At this stage, Redbridge Council is continuing
survey work to establish what works are
necessary to ensure the bridge is safe.”
Residents have launched a petition calling for
the urgent reopening of Broadmead Road.
Explaining the reasons, the petition states:
“This closure has severely impacted our daily
lives, causing immense inconvenience…
While we understand initial tests have been
conducted and inspections are scheduled,
we strongly believe that expediting these
processes is crucial for restoring normalcy to
our community. We implore the authorities
to prioritise this matter with utmost urgency.”
