| Hammersmith Bridge |
Hammersmith Bridge is now closed not just to vehicles but also to bicycles, pedestrians and river traffic. This is apparently because of an "increased risk to public safety due to a sudden deterioration in key parts of the suspension structure."
The bridge will apparently remain closed "until the engineers are confident that it is safe to re-open to pedestrians and river traffic".
But when will this be? The bridge has been closed since April 2019, following a long and sorry saga of temporary closures and regular postponement of the necessary repairs.
Tomorrow Thursday 3rd September at 5pm there will be a Hammersmith Bridge Protest Meeting, to be held on both sides of the bridge.
Guests include a cross channel swimmer who will be swimming across the Thames from Barnes to Hammersmith.
If you're fed up with the endless delays and prevarications and would like to see our council do something about repairing the bridge, show up and let your voice be heard.
