Summary at a Glance

While Sybarite claims to have shared the designs with council leaders, Hammersmith and Fulham Council dismissed the proposal as "another eccentric press stunt", denying any involvement in the plans.

Architects have unveiled bold plans to build two curved roads alongside London's historic Hammersmith Bridge, aiming to restore vehicle access to the Victorian crossing.

Sybarite and Buro Happold have proposed covering the two new structures in ‘mirror-polished stainless steel’, meaning they would ‘disappear in plain sight’ so as not to draw attention from the original bridge.

Sybarite and Buro Happold’s proposal for Hammersmith Bridge is not the first to suggest an alternative to reopening the crossing.

A Hammersmith Bridge taskforce which had not met in three years was recently reconvened by Labour’s Minister for Local Transport, Simon Lightwood, in a bid to move the project forward.
