Should Hammersmith Bridge stay closed to cars?
Plans to repair the bridge have so far been delayed by funding difficulties.
The plan published by Possible would see a a two-way protected cycle lane running across the bridge adjacent to autonomous pods available for people who cannot easily walk or cycle.The solution is designed to work within the "existing engineering constraints" of the bridge, meaning only one of the fleet of 10 pods would be permitted to cross at any time.
The total scheme would cost less than £10m, Possible said. The charity said it believed traffic in the area had fallen since the bridge closed.The bridge has been closed to motor vehicles since cracks appeared in the pedestals in 2019 Leo Murray, a co-director at the charity, said: "Our proposal looks to the clean transport technologies of the future, and could genuinely be in operation serving local communities within months.Stabilisation work to make the bridge permanently safe for walking and cycling is due to be completed in the coming weeks.
LBHF said its proposals to repair the crossing must be approved by neighbouring Richmond Council and Historic England before they can progress.Follow BBC London on
