Just before Easter 2026, Havering Council sent an update to Members, regarding the works to replace Gallows Corner Flyover. A slightly abridged version is shown below.

‘The Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Environment, alongside senior officers, have continued to engage closely with Transport for London (TfL) and Essex & Suffolk Water (ESW) as the Gallows Corner project moves into its final stages.

The Gallows Corner flyover is now structurally complete, with the new deck installed, resurfaced and fitted with new safety barriers. Only minor finishing works remain on the flyover itself. Activity through April is focused on completing the remaining water main commissioning activities and final highway works to the roundabout and its approaches, including surfacing, lining and reinstatement, ahead of the planned reopening.

Councillors and senior officers visited the site in March to see first‑hand the progress being made and to seek assurance on the remaining programme. TfL and ESW have confirmed that the project continues to work towards the previously published reopening of the full junction by the end of April 2026.

TfL has also advised that, once reopened, the strengthened flyover is expected to remove a significant proportion of heavy goods vehicles from the roundabout, and has confirmed that this will be monitored as part of its post‑opening evaluation work.’
