The new cycle and pedestrian lanes opened on Thursday 17th April 2025.
It's been six years (well, almost seven) since Hammersmith Bridge was closed to motor traffic.
Six years of reduced traffic, not only on Hammersmith Bridge (obviously) but on the neighbouring bridges and in the surrounding area too. Six years of reduced pollution and congestion.
Six 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!
