Ferry service for cyclists and pedestrians is planned in the meantime, with aim to start service in the spring
Hammersmith Bridge will remain closed to motor vehicles until 2027 – although it may be reopened to cycling and pedestrians as early as next year, with plans for a ferry to enable people to cross the Thames by foot or on bike in the meantime.
The bridge was closed to motor traffic in April last year following concerns about the ability of the 133-year-old structure to bear the weight of the 22,000 vehicles travelling across it from Hammersmith to Barnes each day.
