I hope they don't lose one of the 100 Bazalgette's lamp-posts along that stretch (they're individually numbered with 1 at the Eastern end and 100 next to Chelsea Yacht Club by the end of Lots Road).

(Reminded of this when running in past them this morning. Occasionally I use the numbers to see how far along that stretch I've got to go.)

I'd not really noticed them before, I mean I'd noticed them, but not just how nice they are or their numbering. Will check it out tonight. As the traffic is always backed up more on a Friday, i'll likely be riding along the shared use pavement anyway.
Looks like they will be losing at least one given the artists impression of the new park/viewing area..I'd have thought planners would have demanded they are kept in some form. Just got to wait 4 years to find out now....
It's going to be a long while yet I think. Once they are done tideway tunneling they are creating a nice little park area too. There is an animation on the website below, but the lack of any finishing date suggests its a how long is a piece of string type question at this point.

TBH, i reckon it's pretty impressive they are doing this without closing the road at all, as annoying as it is.
