LONDON: London is on track to transform a disused stretch of elevated railway in the heart of the city into a"park in the sky", emulating similar successful schemes in Paris and New York.
The reimagined 1.2km viaduct will eventually link bustling Camden with the revamped King's Cross district, turning a corridor of overgrown foliage - adjacent to still-active rail lines - into a new green space and attraction. The US raised walkway, built on former track on the west side of Manhattan, has become a major destination since opening in 2009 and underwent a recent extension.Plans have been submitted to transform a stretch of disused elevated railway in London into an urban park.
"We love the High Line in New York and very excited that the same company are involved in this one," said resident Charlotte Tansey, checking out the route with her Dalmatian, Ziggy. The Camden team has agreed a long-term lease for the Victorian-era viaduct from Network Rail, which owns 32,000km of track and 30,000 bridges, tunnels and other structures, as well as stations.The scheme will link Camden with the revamped King's Cross district in north London.
Set to be filled with new trees, plants and other vegetation, they also expect it will provide green space to tens of thousands of nearby residents.The first section will start in the shadow of Camden market and could open by 2025. The remaining two parts would likely take an additional minimum of two years, if built concurrently.
