Discussions are continuing regarding the proposed East Croydon link bridge, a key component of the town centre regeneration programme. Legal negotiations are ongoing between Network Rail, Croydon Council, and a developer involved in the project, with agreements expected to be signed off shortly.

The East Croydon link bridge project is a significant undertaking, and Network Rail has a contractor lined up and ready to commence work once these agreements are in place. While the current works are being funded by the council, future development of the bridge is expected to be funded by Network Rail.

This project is part of a wider regeneration effort in the town centre, aiming to improve connectivity and public spaces. The Public reports pack for the Croydon Advisory Forum on Active, Sustainable and Accessible Transport outlines various initiatives aimed at enhancing the urban environment, including improvements to public realm and transport infrastructure.
