Works begin this week!

Workers will be onsite from this week to transform Forest Road into a better-connected transport corridor to make it easier to walk, cycle and catch public transport.

We’re constructing the scheme in sections, starting with the stretch between Wood Street and Hale End Road.

The works, expected to take about five months, include introducing wider pavements, new segregated cycle tracks, trees and low-level planting including sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS).

We’ve planned the works carefully to keep disruptions to a minimum. Two-way traffic will be maintained, and temporary lights won’t be needed in this section.

However, please note:

• Wigram Square may need to be closed for a short amount of time so new continuous footways can be built
• Two bus stops, A and F, will be relocated slightly during the works.

Following this stage, works at Wood Street junction will begin in autumn 2025.
