We’re removing a temporary Games-time structure and installing a new permanent bridge, which will increase the amount of daylight on the River Lea and its towpaths –– improving conditions for the river and its wildlife, as well as creating brighter riverside walks.

During this time, the bridge will remain open and fully accessible, except for short periods where we will clearly signpost it being closed.  While it is open, however, it will be narrower, and hoardings will be in place. The north of the Park, including the Timber Lodge Café and Tumbling Bay playground, will remain open as usual – however, the towpaths will be closed intermittently to allow work on the bridge. Works are due to finish in summer 2015, and we’ll keep you updated as they progress.
