Default Simon Jenkins on Sarf Lunnon in the Standard

I note in the case of both the
Hammersmith and Albert bridge works that TfL is also involved in
helping to find the works.


Although bridges are generally fairly easy to find... a single mechanical
failure can't cause them to end up on Goodwin Sands, unlike certain other
forms of river crossing...

And when Jenkins says "And anyone who thinks they can sneak round east
will find Blackwall Tunnel closed southbound indefinitely" he's
talking total balderdash. The tunnel - for which TfL is directly
responsible - is going to be closed to southbound traffic *overnight*
for works until the end of 2012 (it'll remain open to northbound
traffic).


Does anyone know if the Monday night closures of Rotherhithe Tunnel are
still going on?
