East Croydon rail bridge clears way for completion, but delays remain

The long-delayed East Croydon pedestrian bridge has cleared what could be its final obstacle, with the signing of a key funding agreement paving the way for the project’s final phase. The deal means work on the last section of the pedestrian bridge connecting Addiscombe to East Croydon station and the town centre is now set to get underway this summer. Despite this progress, the project remains years behind schedule, with completion not expected…

Croydon Council and Network Rail have agreed funding to open a new pedestrian route at East Croydon Station.

The bridge will connect the east and west sides of the station, giving residents a direct route into the town centre. Work is expected to begin this summer, with the new entrance due to open in 2027. The project is part of a wider £40 million plan to improve links and regenerate Croydon town centre.
