The road between Jenkins Lane and Highbridge Road that has been waiting for its last section for years must be on the brink of opening. The surface is on the roadway and theirs some pedestrian railing, but the pre-existing gate was closed when I visited there today.
I went back north and crossed over the A406 at the footbridge then down the (overgrown) path on the East Ham side, where a big site has been levelled. From Jenkins Lane one can go up the new road to the other side of the gates. There are no signs upon this side but I'm guessing single alternate line working might be necessary.
The site containing the stupidly named Newham Showcase Cinema has lost its bowling alley and Burger King has closed. No that I'm that bothered about Burger King but the whole site is looking a bit sorry for itself. This development is extremely cycle unfriendly; Newham Council and the developers have done absolutely NOTHING to encourage or even accommodate them.

Any news of what's happening at the Showcase Cinemas site. Went 2 weeks ago and it was deserted. Also loos at Frankie and Benny's weren't functioning due to a sewage problem! Its been smelly in the area for the past couple of years and now that the Bowling and Burger King are closed I smell a rat!
