Work on a number of Transport for London (TfL) construction projects has resumed with more restarting in the coming weeks.
Construction at around 300 TfL sites was paused in late March. During the next few weeks, site preparation to accommodate social distancing and construction work will safely begin in a phased way on a number of projects.
These include major capacity improvements and extensions for Tube and rail, such as the Northern Line Extension to Battersea, the Bank Station Capacity Upgrade and the extension of London Overground to the new housing development at Barking Riverside. They also include the transformation of Old Street Roundabout, Cycleways, safety improvements to some key road junctions and new walking and cycling infrastructure to support social distancing by encouraging active travel.
Heidi Alexander, deputy mayor for transport, said: “It’s really positive that work can now safely resume on key transport infrastructure projects, which will help to kickstart London’s economic recovery.”
