Transport for London

Flyover works update

17 April 2012

The installation of new tensioning cables inside the Hammersmith Flyover starts this week.

It is part of ongoing work to fully reopen the structure in June, well ahead of the 2012 Games.

Closures will take place to allow Transport for London (TfL) to complete this vital work more quickly and efficiently, minimising disruption to motorists in the area.

During the closures, traffic will be diverted around the Hammersmith gyratory system. People are advised to consider using alternative routes, the Tube or National Rail services to complete their journey if possible.

Garrett Emmerson, Chief Operating Officer for Surface Transport at TfL, said: 'We are now approaching a critical phase in our race to reopen the Hammersmith Flyover as quickly as possible.

'This will require a number of overnight and Sunday daytime closures to ensure that the works are carried out safely and correctly.

'I would once again like to apologise for the inconvenience that this work is causing and reassure Londoners that we are continuing to work around the clock to complete these vital works as quickly as possible.'
