News on Projects underway

On Wednesday 9 June, the Mayor of Haringey, Councillor Adam Jogee officially opened the new Hale Wharf Bridge in Tottenham Hale. The pedestrian bridge that crosses the River Lea has been built by Waterside Places, and McLaren Construction and follows the completion of the first phase of 249 homes at Hale Wharf.

The new bridge is a vital part of the council’s Green and Open Space Strategy, which aims to improve access and movement between the High Road and the Lea Valley and create better connections to green and open spaces.

The Mayor of Haringey, Councillor Adam Jogee said, ''I’m delighted to have officially opened the pedestrian ‘Hale Wharf Bridge’, the first of a series of structural public assets coming to Tottenham Hale as part of a programme of wider improvement works and local area development. The bridge creates a fantastic opportunity for all the good people of Haringey to better access the wonderful open space and wetlands right on our doorstep.

Previously hidden or difficult to reach, with its step free access, the new bridge will enable all existing and future residents to benefit from the improved connectivity between Tottenham High Road and the Lea Valley area.

This bridge is an exciting feature to the local area which will enable and promote wider use of the green and open space we are so fortunate to have here in Tottenham and across our borough of Haringey.”
