[Moderator’s note: Would commenters please check earlier comments, and also remain civil. How about this: dismantle the bridge and re-erect it 200 hundred yards upstream; from the park on the Middlesex bank to the towpath on the Surrey bank (cyclists and pedestrians only) and build a new bridge. The bad news in all this is that LBH&F is somewhat disingenuous when it reports that Hammersmith Bridge is being restored to full working order and its Victorian splendour. Incredibly, initially, the bridge was signposted in a way to suggests that cyclists were no longer allowed on the bridge. I have lived in Roehampton for 35 years have worked in Hammersmith for 23 years. Certainly, the increase in numbers will almost certainly have to be taken into account. The buses do not have appropriate blinds and so have temporary displays at the front that the drivers, inevitably and confusingly, forget to change. Inevitably there have been suggestions for a temporary road bridge but these have been quickly deemed as impractical. The saga of Walton Bridge is another example, where a temporary replacement was erected in 1953 to partially replace the previous bridge, which had been damaged in 1940 by enemy action. the parish council whose finance committee I chair, takes out an insurance policy to cover inter alia, the replacement cost of the war memorials in its care. One thing to note, which is that a comment is made early in the article about Tower Bridge being maintained. – I endorse all the comments regarding TfL ‘management’ of bus changes, Diamond Geezer sums up the situation perfectly. At the risk of getting off-topic, the road tunnel or so-called flyunder really wouldn’t deliver the claimed benefits. The bridge will be fully restored to its former glory and, once restored, will look better than it does today. Up until 10 April 2019, Hammersmith Bridge carried 22,000 motor vehicles a day. The Council welcomes the government’s engagement. Of course, Crossrail has shown that TfL’s former contingency, far from being excessive, was prudent and could have been put to good use in the manner intended if they had been allowed to keep it. It features structural copulas and seven crests. (For the original Bus Stop M saga click here and then click on the links to chapters within that document to read the individual reports.). If you are checking for the extent of a fault in a structure you do that in a single inspection – however long that takes. The transport users who have been main beneficiaries of the closure of the bridge have definitely been cyclists and it is this group that may need placating when the bridge finally re-opens. If Heathrow’s new runway is being built no doubt it shows people still think in the old classic ways of transport thus the argument for repairing Hammersmith bridge runs along that aegis. A rather cavalier attitude was taken to this rule until LBH&F threatened to ban buses completely unless it was fully observed. The bridge closure has affected bus users well beyond those just south of the river. Designed by the noted 19th century civil engineer, Sir Joseph Bazalgette, it was built in 1887. The reality is that there is really very little alternative to Hammersmith Bridge without a very long detour. The current bridge could be erected somewhere else, over a river, and I would have thought that they very act of dismantling and re-erecting elsewhere would allow for complete repairs to be carried out in a shorter time to allow it to continue to be useful. In any case, it could be argued that many instances of borrowing were not unexpected emergencies but something foreseeable. It doesn’t have an asphalt surface – Plywood coated with silicon carbide to make it grippy enough is the top surface with the coated ply screwed to more ply underneath and timber baulks (railway sleeper timbers dimension but laid on their side) below that which rests on the wrought iron deck framework. Extra services on Route 533 (Hammersmith Bus Station - Lonsdale Road), increasing the frequency Monday to Friday from two to four buses an hour. He designed the original Hammersmith Bridge in London. 1884-ben, egy ideiglenes hidat emeltek át a folyón, amely 1887-ig az új Bazalgette féle szerkezet elkészültéig üzemelt. Since Hammersmith Bridge is a listed structure – & it is very pretty indeed, & we don’t actually want or need one that will take anything heavier than 5 tonnes, unless it’s a single bus at a time. There seems no doubt that the only medium term option is to repair the bridge. Buses will run via Avondale Road, Mortlake High Street, The Terrace, Barnes Bridge Station, Barnes High Street, Church Road, Station Road, Mill Hill Road, Lower Richmond Road and Putney Bridge. Councils would also borrow money in the event of an unexpected emergency. The difference is that the traffic authority is responsible for managing the traffic on a road, while the highway authority is responsible for the maintenance, upkeep and physical condition of the road as a public asset. We will of course let you know when the SPD is published for consultation. So, a rebuild/remove/replace decision has to be agreed betewwen, at least the following: [4], 2008-ban - további hat londoni híddal egyetemben - a brit örökségvédelmi hivatal (English Heritage) tanácsára műemléki státuszt kapott. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/whall/?id=2020-03-03a.215.0&s=hammersmith+bridge#g219.0, Link https://www.theyworkforyou.com/whall/?id=2020-03-03a.215.0 might be slightly better (avoids yellow highlighting). Its not about whether we should build a new tunnel but what the alternatives could be and whether all these plans for new bridges, new railways, airports, etc are in fact short-term assets with disastrous benefits incurred in the longer term. Worse still for the bus passenger, the buses are now much less predictable so extra time has to be allowed for a journey. Even if sufficient money was available (which it isn’t) getting an acceptable design for the ramps is nigh on impossible. Following the letter to the Prime Minister, on 9 September the Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps announced he was setting up a government taskforce, which would take over the project and work up solutions. TfL is the transport arm of the GLA and you would think both logically and by historical precedent that it  would be responsible for Hammersmith Bridge –  but it isn’t. Weekly inspections are appropriate where a serious flaw has to be checked to make sure it is not getting worse. Some drafting misses: [snip. Hammersmith Bridge is owned and maintained by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF). To make matters worse, Hammersmith Bridge is largely constructed of wrought iron despite the fact that by the 1880s steel was starting to replace wrought iron. It was of scaffolding kind of construction. PoP]. One that may seem insignificant and irrelevant is one just a few yards on the south side of the bridge. From Saturday 3 August new route 378 will be introduced between Mortlake, Avondale Road and Putney Bridge Station. A sometimes somewhat fractious public meeting organised by Richmond-upon-Thames council. Hammersmith Bridge is not on a red route and therefore, strictly speaking is nothing to do with TfL – other than their buses run over it. However desirable it may be in the minds of some people for it to be motor-traffic free, the overwhelming need to restore the link means that this isn’t really practical. And, because it’s in such a dangerous condition … “Pell Frischmann has been tasked with designing the temporary structure as part of its brief to design repairs to the bridge, working alongside contractors Freyssinet, Costain and Mabey. Leaving each bridge in Greater London with one of the two possible local authorities is clearly wrong and it would have been possible to vest them in TfL so that this very argument was avoided. If you want numerous people to travel by active modes, you have to treat them with the same consideration you apply to motorised modes. IF[ my emphasis } the Department for Transport accepts that the bridge is part of the strategic road network, it has to reopen to at least its previous capacity to cover single-decker electric buses, as well as similar weights of general vehicle traffic as previously. The idea of moving the structure of a bridge elsewhere (whether a London park or the Arizona desert) reminds me of the way many countries have plinthed their steam locos (stuffed and mounted in a station forecourt). How about a temporary road bridge that sits slightly above the existing bridge? TfL has agreed that the £25 million set aside continues to be available to get the bridge re-opened. FWIW … here is the feedback just received from LBH&F regarding Option One …. It appears that the “saddles” on top of 2 supports were replaced in the 90s to allow some movement of the chain. Despite its problems, Hammersmith Bridge is a beautiful Victorian structure and a unique part of Britain’s pioneer engineering heritage. The issue of the entry/exit ramps, not to mention the costs, also sinks the second proposal. The proposal is a dead duck. Like Education, the bridges were “given back to the Boroughs” – which didn’t even exist when the London County Council was formed.
