Hammersmith Bridge emergency inspection
14th December 2023
This message is sent to reenforce the just issued NTM http://www.pla.co.uk/assets/u30-23.pdf from the PLA.
On Thursday 14th December, from about 1pm until 3pm, a barge will be positioned in the central arch of Hammersmith Bridge to enable an emergency inspection to be carried out following the Class 5 vessel collision with the bridge over the weekend.
During this period the central arch will be completely closed to navigation. Any rowing boats wishing to go through either of the arches must await instruction from the PLA launches which will be in attendance. You are therefore advised to avoid the vicinity tomorrow afternoon if at all possible.
Kind regards,
AliceSafety Adviser | Thames Regional Rowing Council
