Construction of Sterling Way Crossing commencing soon

From 26 January 2026, Transport for London in partnership with Enfield Council will start works on the Sterling Way Crossing. This new crossing will make it easier and safer to walk, cross and cycle on Sterling Way near its junction with College Close and Silver Street Overground station. It is being delivered as part of the Shaping Edmonton programme. The construction works will:

Replace the temporary barriers in the central reservation on Sterling Way with a new pedestrian island and staggered crossing, making it easier and safer for people to cross.
Create a new two-way cycle link between the crossing and the College Close junction to enhance cyclist safety along Sterling Way.
Introduce dedicated bays for loading, rapid electric vehicle charging and disabled parking outside no.18 to 38 Sterling Way.

The works will be undertaken under single lane restrictions from Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 17:00, and on Saturdays from 08:00 – 14:00 between January and July 2026. However, temporary traffic signals and road closures will be required during some phases of the work as detailed in the table below.
