"The national rail bridge that spans Balham High Road, next to Balham station, has been given a deep clean and a new lighting scheme to improve its appearance. The bridge is the latest to benefit from Wandsworth Council's £2m schedule of improvements to rail bridges and underpasses, which is being funded by its contributions from local property developers."
"The rail underpass on Balham High Road was deep‑cleaned before better pigeon‑proofing was installed. Then the architectural lighting above the pavement was improved to highlight the distinctive green tiling on the walls and brighten the walkway."
"We're pressing ahead with a long-overdue programme to renew roads and pavements across the borough, and we're acting when residents have told us things need improving. I'm pleased to see the difference the better lighting has made for pedestrians in Balham and we're moving fast to tackle other bridge underpasses over the next few months."
Wandsworth Council carried out a deep clean and installed a new lighting scheme on the national rail bridge spanning Balham High Road, adjacent to Balham station. The underpass received improved pigeon‑proofing and architectural lighting to highlight distinctive green wall tiling and brighten the pedestrian walkway. The work forms part of a £2m programme of rail bridge and underpass improvements funded by contributions from local property developers. Cabinet Member for Transport Jenny Yates said the council is renewing roads and pavements boroughwide and moving quickly to address other bridge underpasses. Similar upgrades will begin soon at several other sites across the borough.
