The Hammersmith bridge saga hit a new low on Tuesday morning when pedestrians had to queue for half an hour to cross the crisis-hit bridge.
It is unclear how long a full repair programme could take, though Putney MP Fleur Anderson told The Standard last month that it could potentially take until 2035 for the bridge to reopen.
The Thames bridge, which links Hammersmith and Barnes, has been closed to vehicles since April 2019 and one MP warned recently it was unlikely to fully reopen until 2035 at the earliest.
The bridge’s road surface is closed to enable the bridge to be re-decked.
A Government taskforce charged with solving the funding crisis that has prevented the bridge from being reopened met last month for the first time in three years.
