The full reopening of Hammersmith Bridge, estimated to cost £250m, is being held up by a stalemate over funding between the council, Transport for London (TfL) and the Government. Cllr Sharon Holder, Hammersmith and Fulham Cabinet Member for the Public Realm, said when announcing the temporary cycle lane: “We are committed to the full reopening of Hammersmith Bridge to motor vehicles including buses, and we are doing all in our powers to deliver on that commitment. But we are a small local authority, and we must have the financial support of the DfT and Transport for London, as well as an agreement to fund our share via a toll.”
