Together with our partners Transport for London, we’re starting refurbishment of the Gallows Corner Flyover. The flyover is a critical #road for the London economy, helping to drive prosperity, mobility and support economic growth. After creating a detailed design, we’re beginning the on-site works for this complex structure, which was built in the 1970s and requires significant refurbishment to continue operating safely. The project will allow the removal of current speed and weight restrictions, reduce local congestion and improve the resilience, reliability and quality of journeys on London’s road network.
