An Update on Hammersmith Bridge.

Written By Cliff Rosen

Hammersmith & Fulham Council has announced a series of 24-hour weekend closures of Hammersmith Bridge over the next few weeks. It says it needs to restrict access for pedestrians and cyclists to allow work to progress on the stabilisation of the Grade II*-listed bridge. Engineers need to lift the 137-year-old cast iron bridge and replace the corroded, seized components with new rubber bearings.

The closures are taking place at the following dates and times:

From Friday 1 Nov 9pm to Saturday 2 Nov 9pm
From Friday 8 Nov 9pm to Saturday 9 Nov 9pm
From Friday 15 Nov 9pm to Saturday 16 Nov 9pm
From Friday 22 Nov 9pm to Saturday 23 Nov 9pm
From Friday 29 Nov 9pm to Saturday 30 Nov 9pm

The council says it has attempted to limit the disruption by avoiding school and work commuting times. River traffic will not be affected.
