Overview
- The crossing reopened for people on foot and bike after a brief closure triggered by sensors that detected unexpected movement.
- Engineers said the recorded movement does not add risk for those walking or cycling across the span.
- Motor vehicles remain barred because a cast-iron component in the north-eastern abutment cracked in February.
- Kensington and Chelsea Council approved about £8.5 million for a full repair that could take up to 12 months.
- A temporary prop will be installed soon to stabilise the weakened part and reduce the need for future closures.
