HammersmithBRIDGE

Cast iron bridge no one can cross.

[HammersmithBRIDGE @HammersmithBRI3]

@DominickPeasley @JuLlewellyn @CharlotteV @grantshapps @BorisJohnson @StephenCowan @LBHF @TfL @arbrown_town This is so sad and wholly predictable. 1000s of children affected on both sides of the river, should be a priority to fix #HammersmithBridge

[Suzanne @ home @Suzannehome2]

It would be lovely if @grantshapps or @CharlotteV could confirm that a temporary #HammersmithBridge is part of the task force’s remit. Why so close-lipped?

“The Chinese government could cope. When a bridge in Beijing — with about the same span as #HammersmithBridge — developed a fault, they had a replacement up & running in 43 hours. Not months. Hours!!!” ⁦⁦⁦@GregHands⁩ ⁦⁦@ShaunBaileyUK⁩ https://t.co/5VTEXjSpNH

Everyone is watching, laughing, and shaking their heads in disbelief that this is first world London/Britain. #HammersmithBridge @TfL @SadiqKhan @GregHands @charlottev @BorisJohnson @grantshapps @LBHF

So this was my daughter’s bike ride home from school today with #HammersmithBridge shut. Others wading through 3ft of icy water. What fun she and thousands of children will have when the clocks go back @charlottev @grantshapps @StephenCowan @Gareth_Roberts_ @sadiqkhan @tfl Fix it

[HammersmithBRIDGE @HammersmithBRI3]

I am falling down! Can we be a nation that funds engineers again please as we were in 1827 when I opened? @SadiqKhan @grantshapps @CharlotteV #Hammersmithbridge https://t.co/fH0v5FPnJt

'Britain is being bypassed ... our rivals are thrilled ... #HammersmithBridge is emblematic of terminal decay in Brexit Britain.' Another day of shame for @sadiqkhan @mayoroflondon @BorisJohnson @Heidi_LDN @grantshapps - they can't even fix a bridge.

The New York Times, Italian La Repubblica - every day more countries laughing at post-Brexit London where @borisjohnson and @sadiqkhan @stephencowan @Heidi_LDN @grantshapps @charlottev can't fix #HammersmithBridge

@sheehanshas sharing Barnes residents' experiences with the inadequate 533 service. @TfL has assured @CharlotteV the frequency of the service will be increased 🤞#hammersmithbridge

[Charlotte Vere @CharlotteV]

#HammersmithBridge is a key transport route for Londoners. They shouldn’t have to wait this long for it to be fixed. I am leading a Taskforce to bring together the councils plus TfL urgently to develop a solution and agree how to fund it.

[Julia LlewellynSmith @JuLlewellyn]

Me in the @standard today on the national disgrace that is #HammersmithBridge @sarahjolney1. Temporary crossing needed now before a child is hurt or worse. No more endless reports and paper-pushing please @grantshapps @charlottev @Shaunbaileyuk @sadiqkhan @stephencowan

[Shaun Bailey @ShaunBaileyUK]

I urged the government to fix Hammersmith Bridge because @SadiqKhan wasn’t going to.

So I’m thrilled to announce that @GrantShapps is stepping in where the Mayor failed.

Ministers are now taking control of the bridge and fixing it once and for all.

A clear win for residents!

@StephenCowan @LBHF @MayorofLondon The failure to find a permanent solution to fixing #HammersmithBridge is a national embarrassment. This article depicts just a handful of the real-life consequences of the closure. https://t.co/2uXbPK1Vdn

@No__Soup @MPSHammFul @grantshapps @BorisJohnson It's ridiculous. My daughter has to lug her bike over Barnes Bridge with all her school books, twice a day, whatever the weather. Nobody's willing to take responsibility. Shutting Chiswick to cyclists and runners is insanity. Where's the joined up thinking? #HammersmithBridge

[HammersmithBRIDGE @HammersmithBRI3]

Brilliant piece in @BVBugle #hammersmithbridge #brokenbridgebrokenlondon Please read @SadiqKhan @grantshapps @CharlotteV @LBHF @sarag @hammersmithandy https://t.co/vYK2twa3xl

#HammersmithBridge needed temperature control, to protect from tunnelling impact. Where was it @LBHF @TidewayLondon ? Scroll to end for docs https://t.co/1WSADkkc6w

[Annalisa Villa-Takhar @AVillaMetals]

Drilling underground for #thamestunnel shaking homes in North Barnes tonight again. Months of this. Surely this has contributed to #hammersmithbridge cracks and full closure? Whose planning decision ignored this risk? @TfL @LBHF @thameswater ? @SadiqKhan @sarahjolney1 @DfTstats

[HammersmithBRIDGE @HammersmithBRI3]

Work right by #HammersmithBridge highlighted at the start. #ThamesTideway

@HammersmithBRI3 @TfL @LBHF @thameswater @SadiqKhan @sarahjolney1 @DfTstats Can you comment @TidewayLondon ?

[HammersmithBRIDGE @HammersmithBRI3]

@sallysal111 It's under the edge of St Paul's playing fields, very near bridge.
