(asked on 29th April 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask His Majesty's Government when the Thames Path at Vauxhall Cross will reopen.
Answered by
Baroness Hayman of Ullock
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
The Thames Path has been diverted at this location to facilitate construction of the Thames Tideway Tunnel. During this time pedestrians are required to use the footpath along the main road rather than the riverside route between Vauxhall Bridge and Tintagel House. Two new areas of public access are being created at this site that connect the capital's residents and visitors with the river more closely than is currently possible.
Following the completion of the works in mid-2025 the Thames Path that runs through the middle of the site will be reinstated and the two new areas will be opened.
