| Frankly this blame the Tories is rather thick. Let's be honest, they want to save the look of the bridge, not the roadway, so I suggest they deconstruct the old structure and replace it with a brand new steel-reinforced concrete bridge using modern practice, buy up a area of land from St Pauls School while we're there and build another bridge 2-lane bridge so you'd have two 2-Lane bridges that can bring it up to standards with other bridges in the area, Chiswick, Putney and Wandsworth's 4-Lanes. This would allow for ease of mind for the council and future ones to know that the structure is modern and won't be falling apart, thus reducing operation costs. This scale will also allow for reorganisation of Hammersmith One Way near the bridges and streamline that experience. We have the engineers, we have the know-how and this infrastructure project would boost the local economies because of the builders influx and you'd not need to worry about lorries much, since it'll be a river project, most of the materials can be loaded onto a barge and sailed up, thus speeding up construction. The old listed bridge can be taken apart, moved up stream and is built upon another brand new steel-reinforce concrete structure, but with the old iron work visible above it. This won't be used as a road bridge, but more as a Garden/Oxygen Bridge with a Cafe in the middle or something and make it Cyclist and Pedestrian use only. Who funds this, it will be a Council (On both sides), TFL (Stop spending £1.4 Billion on a Tunnel in the East) and Government funding due to the scale of building three bridges in short succession. Now, this will open a precedent for Govt to fund local council projects, however, this Bridge is a piece of Critical infrastructure and the Council has led it into disrepair and if they were to fix it at current costs, it would bankrupt them and that wouldn't do. Additionally, I thought I saw an estimated budget to repair at £141 Million.
