Hammersmith Bridge

What impact has the closure of Hammersmith Bridge had on traffic in Chiswick, across Chiswick Bridge and Kew Bridge and along the A4. 

In light of the number of variables affecting traffic patterns it is not possible to estimate how the closure of Hammersmith Bridge has affected traffic in Chiswick, across Chiswick Bridge, Kew Bridge or along the A4

What is being done to get Hammersmith Bridge properly fixed. I know it is not Hounslow, but cars/bikes are clearly coming into Chiswick to get over the river.

The Hammersmith Bridge Taskforce was set up by the Department for Transport in September 2020 to take over the project and work up solutions. The taskforce is chaired by Baroness Vere and includes representatives from TfL, London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Network Rail, the Greater London Authority and the Port of London Authority. In October, TfL announced that it will procure a temporary ferry service for pedestrians and cyclists that will be in place by “early 2021 at the latest”.
