Transport for LondonAldgate East Gyratory
What is involved?
The scheme will involve a number of measures to make the area more cycle and pedestrian friendly, including:
- New west and eastbound bus stops to improve accessibility
- Installing pedestrian crossings at all junctions
- Introducing two-way traffic on Whitechapel High Street
- Stopping traffic in the western half of Braham Street to enable work on creating a new public space which will contribute towards regenerating the area
- Closing the eastern end of Braham Street to accommodate a new private development
Works will be carried out as quickly as possible and we will work at weekends and night time as much as we can to minimise any inconvenience.
The highway project is expected to be completed by the end of the year, while the new public space is scheduled to finish in 2009.
Congestion Charging
During and following the works, drivers should be aware that traffic directions will change and consequently these changes may result in drivers entering the Congestion Charging zone if alternative routes are not taken.
To avoid receiving a Penalty Charge Notice, drivers should follow the signs to avoid the Congestion Charging zone. All drivers entering the zone will be liable to pay the daily charge.
