Transport for London’s (TfL) plans for the Croydon flyover include carrying out concrete repairs, waterproofing, replacing expansion joints and fitting new lighting.
Transport bosses submitted their business case for the project to the Government in May last year, but are still awaiting a funding decision.
A TfL report released earlier this month says that design work for the renewal has been completed, and that work is “progressing” with local stakeholders and the supply chain to put the proposals into action.
In 2022, the flyover, which is used by 40,000 motorists a day, was named as one of six roads and tunnels across London facing “imminent closure” without work in the next three years.
Despite this, the road remains open to traffic, and work is unlikely to begin on site before summer 2026.
The flyover was built in the 1960s and provides a vital road route for south Londoners.
The latest TfL report also says that designs to improve Superloop bus route SL7 , which runs between Heathrow and West Croydon bus station, “are nearing completion”.
The project would involve making changes to parking and loading bays on the service’s route in Croydon.
