The Hammersmith Bridge Taskforce responsible for finding solutions for reopening the Bridge has not met for three years. It is now understood that a meeting will take place at the end of January 2025. Decisions about government funding will be considered as part of their spending review.
The Bridge, a crucial central London river crossing, was closed in April 2019. It has remained shut to road traffic but is now sometimes usable by pedestrians and cyclists.

it should be taken apart and sold off for scrap and a new robust modern bridge built that can withstand the number (and weight) of vehicles that used to use it.
Maybe responsibility for it should pass to City Bridge Foundation who seem to do a pretty good job of managing Tower, Southwark, London, Millennium and Blackfriars Bridges – If this organisation would deem the prospect worthwhile of course.
Or perhaps TFL could step into Hammersmith Council’s shoes.
