Future of Hammersmith Bridge

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

This Westminster Hall debate examines the future of Hammersmith Bridge, a key crossing over the River Thames in West London. The debate will address the bridge's structural condition, repair timelines, and long-term plans for this vital transport and heritage infrastructure.

Hammersmith Bridge is a critical piece of London's transport network and a Grade I listed structure. Its closure or deterioration affects thousands of commuters daily, local businesses, and residents across southwest London, while raising broader questions about maintaining aging infrastructure across the UK.
