Hammersmith Bridge is open again

After the temporary truss is installed, the existing bridge will be cut into sections, lowered onto a barge and taken to a factory for refurbishment.

“You can take it apart and you can then do restoration works,” David Mackenzie, Senior Technical Director at Cowi UK, explained.

“If we find any defects, which we may well do, then those defects can be repaired in a factory setting.”
