From Friday 25 October 9pm to Saturday 26 October 9pm
From Friday 1 November 9pm to Saturday 2 November 9pm

The temporary two-way cycle lane on Hammersmith Bridge is now closed, so that engineers can resume stabilisation works on the Grade II listed structure.
As part of the works, LBHF will install a new, more permanent cycle lane, reportedly costing around £3 million. This will open next year, once the stabilisation work is complete.
It's been five years since Hammersmith Bridge was closed to motor traffic.
Five years of reduced traffic, not only on Hammersmith Bridge (obviously) but in the surrounding area too. Five years of reduced pollution and congestion.
Five years that have shown there's no need for cars to be allowed to cross Hammersmith Bridge.
So let's celebrate our freedom from cars and say: keep Hammersmith Bridge car-free!
