In October 2023, the bridge was set to be closed for three weeks to allow repairs to its surface. According to the City Bridge Foundation, the bridge will close at 08:00 BST on Saturday 14 October and should reopen by 5 November.
A wonderful perspective of the famous bridge,dear Nick!
Thank you for the main link and also for the link about Santiago Calatrava!
HFF and have a great weekend!
Yes Rosa this is one my my favorite bridges with as you say one of another famous pieces of architecture by Christopher Wren who for a time lived in East Knowle.
An iconic view of a bridge that I have crossed a few times, although I haven't seen it as deserted as this.
HFF dear Nick, and enjoy some good weather this weekend. It has rained here all day, and apart from a yoga class this morning, the only thing that was available this p.m. was some light reading and a small amount of HW. ;-)
Hi dear LGM ~ Yes you need to be up early to have a clear bridge (or stay up very late). This bridge is not so far from St Thomas's which I suspect put opportunity your way to stretch your legs now and then.
I'm sorry to learn that you have been confined to the house for most of the day. Here it has been cloudy after a damp start with the sun coming out to play around lunchtime for a while. Now it is back to light rain.
I hope that you enjoy some better weather over the weekend ~~~
Hi Nick, I walked across here just after it had been constructed. I think it closed down then a few days later for a while. Very nice shot indeed and at least you are devoid of crowds here. Well done.
Hi Nick
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful and interesting composition
As I remember, the designers had screwed up, and not realised the cumulative effects of people walking in step to induce harmonic motion... The cost of the extra stiffening to change the fundamental frequency was millions!!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

I see it's one of your early morning photos.
