Barges at Hammersmith Bridge 2

15th October 2023

Here are the movements for the barges this week at Hammersmith Bridge:

Monday OR Tuesday will see the rig moving on the southern arch to a slightly new location. Then on Wednesday it will go up to Chiswick and down to Putney before being installed south of the bridge on the Southern side again (this movement is to allow it to pass under the bridge as the legs have to be taken off and re-installed).
