ST JOHN'S ROAD BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION COMPLETED

Following completion of the major reconstruction of St John's Road Bridge, St John's Road reopened to through traffic on Thursday 16 August.The Council will be progressively removing the temporary traffic management (lines and signs) from Linkfield Rd, Grainger Rd and Amhurst Gardens on Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 August, and these streets should be fully open to two-way traffic by Wednesday afternoon. London Buses will return the H37 and 117 services to their St John's Road route on Tuesday morning (21 August), and the northwest-bound H28 will also switch from Linkfield/Grainger to St John's Rd at the same time. The H28 will return to its Amhurst Gardens route (both directions) on Friday morning (24 August). The Council will launch a consultation in September, aimed at ascertaining the best permanent traffic arrangement for Amhurst Gardens. London Buses will also be consulted, regarding future arrangements for the H28 service, which uses this street.  A report will be brought in due course to the Isleworth & Brentford Area Committee.The Council would like to thank all local residents, bus users and motorists for their co-operation whilst the essential bridge reconstruction works were being carried out.Chris Calvi-FreemanHead of TransportLondon Borough of Hounslow

Didn't the lads do well... my having told them to get a move on! ;0)-----------------------------------------------------------Maybe we don't appreciate how difficult a job they had to do.  I mean ..who do you know in the area who could part the waters like that? (to do the repair).-----------------------------------------------------------This cheerful bus driver (sensibly with his lights on in the dim light) gave me the thumbs up when he passed by. He was no doubt happy about the completion.-----------------------------------------------------------This driver,WITH HIS LIGHTS OFF..ignored me. And quite right too!-----------------------------------------------------------I struggled to build a sandcastle during the holidays..so these lads rebuilding a bridge like this..was a fine achievement.  How much did it cost?
