London announces details of 2026 infrastructure plan
The City of London has announced details of its annual plan to fix and improve roads, bridges, and transit.
The 2026 Renew London program includes approximately $285 million in new projects, and another $100 million in ongoing work from last year. The city says this level of investment reflects what it takes to keep up with a growing city and ensure streets and infrastructure can support more people, homes, and businesses in the years ahead.
“London has experienced some of the fastest population growth in the country over recent years, so the scale of infrastructure investment we are undertaking is essential to meet our current and future needs,” said Mayor Josh Morgan. “With these funds we are building a smarter city that works for all residents by connecting neighbourhoods, supporting businesses, and keeping London moving safely.”
The planned scope of work includes more than 100 lane kilometres of road, upgrades to 20 intersections, and as many as 30 kilometres of new or replaced water, storm, and sanitary infrastructure.
Much of the work will be completed using coordinating approaches to fixing or installing discrete infrastructure components simultaneous, meaning multiple improvements such as road, sewer, watermain and utility work are completed at the same time in neighbourhoods.
“The sheer scale of work this year reflects the city’s commitment to strengthening critical corridors, upgrading key intersections, and expanding capacity across London,” said Jennie Dann, the city’s Director of Construction and Infrastructure Services. “Each project is carefully planned to ensure that as the city grows, the infrastructure is ready to support residents, businesses, and daily travel for years to come.”
The top ten projects planned for this year include:
- Highbury Avenue South Road Rehabilitation - Improves travel between London and Highway 401, supporting regional economic growth.
- Phillip Aziz Avenue and Western Road Improvements - Makes the area near Western University safer and easier to travel for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
- The Queen’s Bridge Rehabilitation - Rebuilds the bridge deck and key structures, adds a multi-use path for walking and cycling, upgrades pedestrian crossings, and strengthens shoreline protection.
- Sunningdale Road West Improvements - Expands the road, improves safety, and supports future development in northwest London.
- Kilally Infrastructure Project - Updates the road and surrounding corridor to support growth and make active transportation safer and easier.
- Bradley Avenue Extension - Completes an important road connection to improve mobility and support city growth.
- Wellington Gateway Phase 2 - Final stages of the south Rapid Transit corridor, including road, transit, and underground infrastructure upgrades.
- East London Link Phase 3: Highbury Bridge - Replaces aging bridge structures, improves regional connections, and supports transit infrastructure.
- East London Link Phase 4: Oxford Street East - Continues construction along the corridor with upgrades to the roadway, active transportation options, and transit facilities.
- East London Link Phase 5: Dundas Street - Completes the East London Link corridor, allowing full Rapid Transit operations and supporting development in surrounding areas.
The planned work also includes continued work on the south and east Rapid Transit corridors, representing the final phases of London’s first approved routes.
As work continues on the Wellington Gateway and East London Link, the city is shifting focus toward completing the remaining sections and preparing for the visible transformation above ground.
