This was the final section of the North Circular Road – from Hanger Lane to Harrow Road – to be built.
It was opened on 2 July 1934 by Oliver Stanley, Minister of Transport. It involved burrowing under the embankments of 15 railway lines at Stonebridge Park and through the 25 foot embankment of the Grand Junction Canal, building the bridges and aqueduct whilst rail and canal traffic continued. The cost was £95 000. This completed the 20 mile North Circular Road from the A4 near Kew Bridge clockwise to near the Southend Road at Wanstead which had first been thought out in 1912.
