Historic bridge used by 30,000 per day to close THIS WEEK for major revamp sparking year-long delays for drivers
DRIVERS brace for chaos as this historic bridge, used by 30,000 motorists a day, is set to close this week.
The 93-year-old bridge is being prepared for major renovations which could lead to a whole year of traffic.
A bridge used by thousands is set to close this week[/caption] Lambeth Bridge will go through a series of renovations throughout the year[/caption]Lambeth Bridge will close on January 30, with subsequent closures throughout 2025.
As one of the busiest bridges in the capital, drivers have been warned there may be long delays and pedestrians have been told there will be roadworks when crossing.
It was opened to the public in 1932 and goes from Lambeth on the southside, to near the houses of parliament in Westminster on the north side.
TfL revealed the bridge’s northern junction is the most dangerous spot in London for cycle accidents.
Dozens of collisions were recorded last year, including one fatality.
Now the unsignalised roundabouts will be replaced with signal-controlled junctions.
This will hopefully reduce the number of cyclists who have been caught up in incoming traffic.
TfL’s Head of Projects and Programmes Julie Lewington, said: “We are committed to Vision Zero, the Mayor’s goal to eliminate death and serious injury from the transport network, and these changes will play a vital role in reducing danger at this key junction.”
A TfL spokesperson added: “This scheme will improve safety on the bridge and at both the northern and southern junctions.
“Replacing the roundabouts with signal-controlled junctions means that we can add new, safer signal-controlled pedestrian crossings, replacing zebra crossings on the Westminster side of the bridge.
“Protect and provide time for cyclists to safely connect to existing cycle routes, such as Cycleway 8 on Milbank.”
Further work will take place on the bridge as the construction was built nearly a century ago and is finally getting the revamp it needs.
The maintenance work includes waterproofing, bridge deck repairs, and replacing replacement of temporary security measures.
This work will start this week on January 30 until February 7 and will see the bridge closed to all traffic overnight from 9.30pm until 5am.
From February 7 to 10, it will be fully closed so a new traffic management system can be installed.
Drivers will have to be diverted but pedestrians are still able to use the crossing over the River Thames.
Between February 10 to July 18, there will be a one-way closure from Westminster towards Lambeth.
Buses, namely the 3 and C10, will be diverted to the two nearest bridges, Vauxhall Bridge or Westminster Bridge during times when the bridge is completely closed off.
During part closures, only buses heading from Vauxhall Bridge or Westminster Bridge will be altered.
All of these roadworks will take place on and off throughout the year, starting on January 30 all the way until December 15.
TfL has warned that the roadworks might contribute to increased congestion in surrounding areas and on the nearby bridges.
London’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner, Will Norman, approves of the project.
He said: “I’m pleased TfL is starting work to make both the north and south junctions safer for both cyclists and pedestrians.
“This project is just one example of the Mayor and TfL’s commitment to make London’s most dangerous junctions safer, as we work towards our Vision Zero goal.”
I tried gorgeous new cardigan and fab new blazer from Dunnes Stores that are perfect for the office – and costs just €30
DUNNES Stores are sending shoppers into a frenzy over a new range of must-have pieces for the office.
The new bits are great for wearing into the office and heading for drinks after.
The Single Breasted Blazer is a bargain, selling for just €30[/caption] The Savida Boucle Cardigan also costs €30[/caption]One shopper has taken to social media to share a look at a couple of the pieces that she picked up.
TikTok user Katie Leahy shared a short video to the platform for her followers.
At the beginning of the video, she can be seen holding a large Dunnes Stores shopping bag.
She said: “I was finding it really hard to get a plain black blazer with full-length sleeves.”
The first item she pulls out is a long black blazer, which is in stores now.
Katie said: “This one was just left on a random hanger, it wasn’t where it was supposed to be, I couldn’t find where the rest of them were – and it happened to be a size 10.”
Holding up the blazer, she adds: “Thank God for that, because everywhere else seems to be selling short-sleeved blazers, where the sleeves are crumpled up – I don’t want them for work; they’re going-out blazers, but this is for work.”.
The Single Breasted Blazer is a bargain, selling for just €30.
Available in sizes 8 to 22, shoppers have clearly been loving it, as the only size left in stock online is the smallest one.
In the official item description on the Dunnes Stores website, fashion bosses wrote: “This sophisticated blazer features a single-breasted design with a peak lapel and faux-flap pockets.”
“Lined for a superior feel, the colour-matched buttons tie the look together.”
And it’s perfect for wearing to the office when you have plans afterwards, as it’s so versatile that it can be styled with almost anything.
Next, Katie takes out a stunning grey cardigan that has hit the shelves.
Holding it up, she said: “How cute is this?”
She then shows a close up of the detailed silver buttons, which add a touch of glam to the piece.
In terms of styling, she said: “That would be lovely with a skirt or even just jeans.
Speaking about the quality, Katie added: “It’s so nice and thick as well, lovely and warm”.
The Savida Boucle Cardigan also costs €30, and is available in sizes XXS to XXL.
Dunnes Stores wrote: “Sumptuously soft, this cropped cardigan from Savida is crafted from a soft and cosy boucle fabric.
“Featuring classic ribbed trims and intricately designed buttons, it can be worn with a skirt and boots or with your favourite denim.
“Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
