Transport for London has published a new video outlining the refurbishment works to the much-loved local landmark, Chiswick Bridge.
The Grade II listed historic bridge was restored to its 1930s glory as part of a £4billion
Road Modernisation Plan. The scheme consists of hundreds of projects to transform London's road network and is the biggest investment for a generation.
Work started on this key route across the Thames in April 2014 and ended in June 2015. The cost in 1933 was £227,600 (£14m today).
The bridge is made up of nine arches, three of which are over the river. Skilled stonemasons conserved much of the original stonework in its original position. Where stonework on the parapets had deteriorated beyond repair, replacements were sourced from the same quarry that supplied the original Portland stone back in the 1930s.
