Cycle route changes – Bridgewater (southern approach to Olympic Park)

The Waterworks Bridge is being replaced. We have been informed by the team that work will start in September 2024 and should be complete winter 2025. During this time there will be adjustments to cycle and footpaths. Alternative routes, we are told, will be clearly marked.

A minor diversion of the cycle path on the west side of the river is required by 13 September. Subsequently, the cycle/foot path which connects the bridge with the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (marked below as U03) will close at the end of September, and pedestrians and cyclists will be rerouted via the newly opened path (marked as U07).

We are hoping that disruption to cycling should be minimal. If you have any concerns please contact us at newham@lcc.org.uk
