How the southern end of the current Leyton Rd scheme now blends with the existing pavement.
?Possibly there will also be pavement work on the opposite side of the road.
(Cycle tracks in this scheme are still waiting to get fully surfaced.)

Some of the new road markings + mini-islands on International Way.
The current 'cycle route' until the permanent cycle crossing opens at the southern end
Southern end of the Olympic Park Avenue roadway
Further south, the🚶side of the crossing to Westfield Ave/Waterden Rd has temporarily opened as a shared use route.
The N<->S crossing on the east side of this junction is currently closed.

View from the cycleway side
The parallel crossing on Olympic Park Ave (leading to Anthems Way) has got its road markings.
Belishas are not yet solar powered.
Some bollards now help separate the roadway from the new two-way cycleway (pic 4).

Motorists can still turn right here into South Place.
Also worth noting the new banned left turn here.
Northbound cyclists can instead use Moor Lane + Moorfields to access Ropemaker St.
Looks like Gt Chapel St is NOT open to motorists, as entry is banned at all the sidestreets. Presumably it's just open to emergency service.
The southern end of Frith St.
Shaftesbury St now has a right-turn lane for cyclists.

Resurfacing today at the Ropemaker St scheme.
This is Phase 3b of (Newham's) Westfield Ave scheme.
Website does show Phase 3a (Olympic Park Ave) ending on Apr 30 which does seem accurate ... but the dates in the bullet-list of "complete" bits are very inaccurate.

Barrier outside Hammersmith Olympia
Bollards + blocks have replaced the previous Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) at Eastcross Sq/Clarnico Lane (near Copper Box). Apparently this is just inside @hackneylcc.bsky.social territory.
Pic 2 is a barrier outside Hammersmith Olympia that is similar to the HVM that's been replaced at QEOP.
* Pic 2 is actually Frith St, not Greek St
Further north, contraflows have gone in on Delaware Rd.
At the northern end there a right turn cycle lane on Elgin Ave (pic 2).
Pic 3 shows a contraflow chevron painted on a speed hump - something that should probably also have been done for C16 on Buxton Rd. @newhamcyclists.uk
The northbound '(C27)' link is still unsigned/unmarked until the right turn into Norfolk Crescent.
Pics 2-4 show road markings around here for the link routes. Unlike on the signs, there are no parentheses used for the road markings.
The contraflow lane on Portsea Place is gap-free (pics 1 + 2).
There are 2 cycle lanes on Kendal St, both towards Portsea Place junction.
Pic 3 is the westbound C43 from Edgware Rd. Pic 4 is the eastbound '(C43)' link.
(Only the Seymour Pl to Bryanston Sq W section of George St is closed now.)
East side of Connaught Sq has a contraflow lane apart from roughly where some kerbing has been planned.
Presumably there should be an 'except 🚲' at the banned left turn into Portsea Place in pic 4.
Along the initial section of C43:
Royal_Parks-style Cycleway signs are up inside Hyde Park where C43 meets C55.
The markings for the cycle crossing from Stanhope Place pretty much guide southbound cyclists into the bollard!
Next, a daytime look at the new Gt Titchfield St + Carburton St contraflows, passing from New Cavendish St to the northern stretch of Cleveland St.
Still had the unlikely 'except 🚲' on Clipstone St's westbound no_entry.
Northern end is now unobstructed by barriers
Looks like the segregated path on Carlisle Street might have works planned
(3) Construction site blockage of the southern end of Gt Chapel St has finally ended... so (despite seeing no 🚗 using it) I think this street is now open to northbound traffic.
Red = New contraflows Pink = Gt Chapel St Blue = Recently opened section of road
(2) New contraflow along all of Frith St.
Around Soho Square:
(1) New contraflow on most of Greek St.
New southbound cycle track
A trip on Monday around some of the recent Westminster changes.
First a new southbound cycle track @safecycleldn.bsky.social among the improvements around the Seven Dials area.
@edmondchuihw.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social
Current start of the westbound cycle track
A future cycle crossing is to the left of the future pedestrian crossing
Photos along the westbound side.
End of Laystall St
First section of the eastbound cycle track on Clerkenwell Rd has begun to be used by some 🚲 .
It does have a 🚲 logo painted, but I'm not 100% convinced it's officially open as it doesn't end very tidily approx around Laystall St.
@edmondchuihw.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social
Future bike gate is to the left of the perked white van
🚦going up on poles on Ropemaker St yesterday (pic 1).
Clerkenwell Pollinator Path
Works on St John St have now reached the zebra crossing.
Artemis II-like Close encounter with the far side
The recent repaving on Clerkenwell Close has finished.
@marcus-on-a-bike.bsky.social @edmondchuihw.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social
A little bit of fresh C25 surfacing where Westfield Ave & Waterden Rd meet. Also includes the link on this side to the imminent 🚲 crossing to Olympic Park Ave.
Based on one sign on International Way, it looks like the resurfacing works (that began last night) will continue around here until Apr 30.
TfL Go now seemingly uses that Gt Titchfield St <--> Carburton St 'route' as the E-W Cycleway route at Fitzrovia.
@edmondchuihw.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social
C37 (+ its C-link to C27) in Hackney shows as a Cycleway.
The online TfL Cycle Map was last updated in Oct.
