Putney Bridge is closing completely for 3 months from 14th July. Apparently, pedestrians will still be allowed across, but there will be no special dispensation for cyclists. Given the amount of peds that usually use the bridge, plus those who are displaced, plus the amount of commuters wheeling their bikes, the whole thing is looking like it's going to be a disaster.
For those of us coming in from Surrey and SW London via Richmond Park to the City and West End, is there any viable alternative that doesn't take you miles off route over Hammersmith Bridge, or into the path of the Wandsworth one way system?
