The A1011 is a road in East London, England which links Stratford with Canning Town, and Silvertown.[1]
Route
Stratford
The A1011 starts in Stratford. The A1011 does not start in Stratford Town Centre but starts about a mile south on the A112 road at New Plaistow Road, just north of Plaistow. It then runs down in a south western direction along Manor Road.
The next junction is with Mitre Road, which leads onto Abbey Road and past the DLR station to the A118 road at Stratford High Street. This is a quick link to the A118 for Bow for the A11 and the A12 avoiding Stratford town centre, with its one way system.
West Ham
The road continues in a south western direction and then takes a bend to make traffic face the south. Next to the road is the Jubilee line and DLR tracks. Here is also where The Greenway, which consists of The Capital Ring, runs above over a footbridge. The road continues south parallel to the Underground and DLR track and under another set of bridges. These are the tracks for the District line, Hammersmith & City line and c2c services to London and Essex. Here is the location of West Ham station, a busy main station, and this part of the road can be busy during peak times for people picking up or dropping off passengers for the station.
Canning Town
Continuing south, still next to the tracks, the road passes through the town of West Ham. The road then comes to a junction for Cody Road industrial estates to the right and a houising estate to the left. This is where the road enters Canning Town. Continuing south, the road comes to a junction with Star Lane. This is the location of Star Lane DLR station. To the left is a housing estate, school's, park and local shops but the A1011 continues south past the estate, then taking a long curve coming into the Canning Town interchange.
Canning Town interchange
The Canning Town interchange is a major interchange where the road meets the A13 and the A124 road. The interchange also consists of the Canning Town bus station and Canning Town station, which is on the Jubilee line to Stratford, Central London and Stanmore. The DLR also stops here as 3 branches meet with services to Bank station, Tower Gateway DLR station, Poplar, Beckton, Custom House, London City Airport, Woolwich Arsenal station, Stratford station and Stratford International station.[2]
Future
Silvertown Tunnel
The proposed Silvertown Tunnel is expected to end on the A1011 Silvertown Way. The scheme is expected to be completed in 2025. There will be tolls to use the tunnel, as well as the Blackwall Tunnel, making the Rotherhithe Tunnel and Tower Bridge busier.[3][4][5][6][7]
Royal Docks corridor
There are also plans for Silvertown Way and North Woolwich Road. According to Newham Council, these plans include:
- Make it easier, safer and more convenient for people to walk, cycle and use public transport
- Improve air quality and reduce pollution levels
- Reduce the dominance of traffic
- Slow down vehicle speeds
- Provide a much safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists
- Improve access and connections to the DLR stations along the route
- Ensure that bus services run smoothly and are on time
- Include more greenery, trees and planting
- Make people feel safer and more comfortable in the area
- Make the street more attractive and create a 'sense of place' so that people enjoy spending time here
This scheme is due to be completed in summer 2024.[8]
