What about the traffic?

The bridge is closed to traffic but not to pedestrians. Cyclists must dismount when crossing because the two metre footway is not wide enough for pedestrians and cyclists.

We have carefully planned the work with TfL including the timing of the work and diversion routes to help ease the disruption.  During the work TfL is constantly monitoring traffic in the area and on the diversion routes.  Their Traffic Engineers will adjust traffic signals timings as required to smooth the flow of traffic.

Traffic is being diverted across Chelsea Bridge (A3216) and Battersea Bridge (A3220). These bridges can be reached via Chelsea Embankment (A3212) north of the Thames and Battersea Park Road (A3205) south of the Thames.
