London's Wandsworth Bridge to close to vehicles for 10 weeks for repairs
The repairs have been planned to coincide with school summer holidays to minimise traffic levels, the council explained.
"If these critical repairs are not completed, it could result in longer-term closures and other restrictions," it added. While cyclists will be able to use the bridge during the 10-week closure, the council said they will have to dismount.Council leader Simon Hogg said: "Unfortunately a repair job on this scale to an important river crossing means some degree of disruption is unavoidable, and we are sorry for the inconvenience it will cause, but we have worked hard to keep this to the absolute minimum.
"We are giving people as much advance warning as we can ahead of July's closure so that they have plenty of time to plan alternative routes or look at using other forms of transport to get across the river."closed to motor vehiclesDeputy leader of the Conservative council group, Andrew Dinsmore, called the move "phenomenally significant" and said it was "unsurprising" that more vehicles had been using Wandsworth Bridge after Hammersmith's closure.
"That is obviously going to get even worse and I would personally not be surprised if Putney Bridge has issues too," he added
