Barking Riverside
The temporary diversion for Footpath 47 is now live, so we’ve put together a short video showing the new route.
While essential foreshore works continue along the riverfront, accessing the area will look quite different for some time.
Thank you for your continued patience as we work to deliver long-term improvements.
We’ll continue to keep residents updated throughout.

📣 Reminder for residents: Footpath 47 diversion route is coming into effect from next week.
As previously shared, essential foreshore works along the river require a temporary diversion to Footpath 47. The new diversion route will come into effect from Tuesday 26th May - starting at Project Road, outside the Project Office. This will involve accessing the foreshore from a new road, rather than entering the foreshore from the Project Office car park.
Diversion signage will be installed over the coming days, with marshals present during the short switch-over period to help guide pedestrians safely along the new route.
These works form part of the wider improvements to the riverfront and are necessary to ensure work can continue safely.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience while these works are carried out. More signage is due to be installed to re-share the designs for the foreshore, and to give further detail on the programme.
