LONDON: Hammersmith Bridge Ducks in the Dusk

LONDON: Hammersmith Bridge Ducks in the Dusk Hammersmith Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the River Thames in west London. It links the southern part of Hammersmith in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, on the north side of the river, and Barnes in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, on the south side of the river. The current bridge, which is Grade II listed and was designed by civil engineer Sir Joseph Bazalgette, is the second permanent bridge on the site, and has been attacked three times by Irish republicans. It was closed indefinitely to all motor traffic in April 2019 after cracks were discovered in the bridge s pedestals. The closure was extended to pedestrians and cyclists between August 2020 and July 2021 when limited use resumed.
