Work has been completed that sees a new bridge to carry the junction of Downs Park Road and Bodney Road over the railway in Hackney.
The previous bridge was 150 years old and was in need of replacement to keep passengers and road users safe.
Back in the summer, the railway was closed for 16 days to allow for work to take place and since then, complex work has been completed to reopen the road.
Network Rail has finished delivering a replacement bridge that carries the junction of Downs Park Road.
“Thank you so much to passengers and the local community for bearing with us while we got this job done on time. Thousands of people travel under and over this bridge every day by rail and road, and our project was vital to keeping their future journeys safe and reliable. The new bridge is expected to last for more than a century.”
Simon Milburn, Network Rail Anglia’s infrastructure director
