Major milestone today with the lifting back of the bridge structure back onto the piers.
When they finish the work and put it back into service the city needs to start on the retaining wall replacement like they did south of the bridge. The same work is really needed north towards Oxford St. It is crumbling and broken with small trees growing out of it.
Report going to Civic Works Committee on June 13 recommending Blackfriars Bridge be closed to vehicle traffic from May 1 to Oct 31 every year and open to all traffic the rest of the year.

Awesome news! Last thing downtown London needed was yet about route closed with some idiotic seasonal road closure. Bad enough the entry points to Dundas at Rideout & Wellington are closed to traffic.
Always though when they were rehabbing Blackfriars they should have linked it directly to Central Ave with a new bridge.
