Hammersmith Bridge is open again

Conservative MP says Labour council which has been deliberately starved of cash has failed to repair bridge (in project the government refused to fund so their mayoral candidate could take credit if he won) and should hand it over to TfL, which the government has deliberately starved of cash...

Hammersmith bridge has never had a deck suitable for modern motor traffic, by which I mean the tank-sized SUVs that are now ubiquitous. You could feel the road surface flexing if you were cycling across at the same time as one.

Unfortunately buses aren't any lighter, and when there were bus gates they were continually vandalized anyway.
