George Lane Viaduct works completed; inspection to follow

An in-depth inspection is to be carried out on the George Lane Viaduct.

It follows six weeks of maintenance work, which began in April. “The works were completed ahead of schedule. We replaced the expansion joints along the entire length of the bridge. The scheduled inspection will be completed this financial year in line with the council’s routine maintenance programme,” said a Redbridge Council spokesperson.

Separately, Broadmead Road bridge has remained closed to traffic since July 2023 due to structural defects.
