Hammersmith Bridge - Safe route guidance for people affected by closure
The closure of Hammersmith Bridge has meant longer journeys for many people who live in the area and safety concerns for those crossing Barnes Bridge as an alternative route and using the unlit Dukes Meadows towpath, to access Chiswick.
We have installed signs and created a downloadable map for people showing the quickest, fully lit alternative. The fully signposted route, which runs through Staveley Gardens and Alexandra Gardens, takes an estimated two more minutes to cycle and six more minutes to walk than the Dukes Meadow towpath.
In addition the Met Police are operating extra patrols in the area, including patrols by plain clothed officers.
