  • Work to create new bus station and public area near Tottenham Hale station remain on track to begin by the end of the year following next phase of works along Monument Way

Transport for London (TfL) will return the A10 Tottenham High Road to two-way traffic on 30 June, heralding the completion of the first phase of the Tottenham Hale Gyratory removal scheme.

Safer for pedestrians and cyclists

The traffic switch, which will take place early on the Sunday morning, will significantly improve the road network by providing more options for vehicles travelling in both directions through the area, as well as easier access for local residents and businesses.

It will also help to reduce traffic levels along Broad Lane and Monument Way, making the area safer and more appealing for pedestrians and cyclists.

New paving, lighting and trees have also been installed as part of this first phase, helping to further improve the look of Tottenham High Road.

Further improvements

The work forms part of TfL's wider £34m scheme to improve the area around Tottenham Hale Gyratory.

As well as removing the gyratory, the existing bus station by Tottenham Hale station will also be expanded to significantly improve interchange between bus, Underground and train services and a new public space with trees, benches and additional cycle parking for the local community created, providing a new area for local residents to relax, play and catch up.

Following the traffic switch, TfL will begin work on the next phase to convert Monument Way to two-way traffic.

This phase is planned to be completed by the end of the year, after which work will begin on the new public space.

Buses serving route 341 will be permanently diverted to go along Philip Lane and High Road following the traffic switch on the 30 June.

TfL will also shortly be consulting on its proposal to implement a 20mph zone along Broad Lane and within the gyratory as part of the scheme.

Local benefits

Garrett Emmerson, Chief Operating Officer of Surface Transport at TfL, said 'The completion of the first key phase of work at Tottenham Hale will be of huge benefit to the local area.

'By returning Tottenham High Road to two-way traffic, residents, business and local road users will see improved traffic flow and better access, in addition to the new paving, lighting and trees.
