Hammersmith Bridge

Hammersmith Bridge is a suspension bridge in London that spans the River Thames, connecting the districts of Hammersmith and Barnes. Opened in 1827, it features a combination of suspension and truss design elements. The bridge serves both pedestrians and vehicles, playing a crucial role in local transportation. Over time, it has faced structural challenges due to age, weather, and heavy use, leading to closures for repairs and safety inspections. Restoration efforts are ongoing to preserve its historic value while ensuring safety and accessibility for users.
