Lea Bridge Road: cycle bridgedates: 2015-2017 commissioned by: London Borough of Waltham Forest part of: mini Holland links: Lea Bridge Road online consultation awards: Architect of the Year Awards 2016, infrastructure (shortlist) New London Architecture Award 2016, transport & infrastructure (winner) photography: Alexander Christie As part of the mini Holland commission what if: projects have developed the urban design for the cycle superhighway along Lea Bridge Road. The implementation of a new cycle bridge commenced in the autumn 2015. Located in the Lee Valley Park the new cycle bridge spans the former aqueduct, a walking and cycle route connecting Dover to the Shetland Isles.
“Good to see high quality proposals for cycling infrastructure and also benefits for people walking. I particularly like the bold approach of the new bridge – nice too see something being done properly rather than shoe-horning sub-standard facilities in to existing situations.” “Peering through a fence at the start of what will become the greatest ever borough cycling scheme. Lea Bridge Road.”
