Read about why this is great news
It's been almost seven years since Hammersmith Bridge was closed to motor traffic.
Seven years of reduced traffic, not only on Hammersmith Bridge (obviously) but on the neighbouring bridges and in the surrounding area too. Seven years of reduced pollution and congestion.
Seven 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!
