The Grade II* listed Hammersmith Bridge was closed to vehicles five years ago after cracks were found. This closure led to congestion in west London and isolation of Barnes residents, reflecting a failure to repair crucial infrastructure.
The estimated repair cost has risen from 20 million to 250 million pounds. Despite 30 million already spent, the full restoration plan, including a driver toll, faces political delays, needing another five years to complete.
