An Idea for Hammersmith Bridge Issue Add a review

Annotation

The  132‐year‐old  Hammersmith  Bridge has been closed to motor traffic since April 2019. This beautiful suspension structure needs to be seriously repaired again. Although the bridge was significantly damaged by the bombings of  1939,  1996, and  2000,  it has continued to serve the community successfully.  Hammersmith  Bridge is a  beautiful example of innovation in 19th-century British Engineering and is an iconic structure in West London. 
This paper contains a summary description of the existing bridge issue and proposed solution. Different design options are summarised, and a sketch of a new bridge is proposed.
