Council agrees to £80m plan to replace Broadmead Road bridge

WVD-AUG-2025-vbridge

Redbridge Council is moving forward with plans to demolish and rebuild Broadmead Road bridge, which has been closed to traffic since July 2023 due to structural defects.

The decision follows a detailed options appraisal, which identified full replacement as the most effective long-term solution.

The new bridge will cost £24m to construct, with a further £56m required to cover associated costs. The council plans to apply for support from the government’s recently announced £1bn infrastructure fund.
