There's a big blue bridge floating down the river to Brentford Eyot - doesn't look big enough to solve the Hammersmith Flyover traffic problem

Yep, it's going to connect Lots Ait to the shore for a new boat yard.

There are some fabulous pictures of the operation to transport the bridge structure to Lot's Ait on the Brentford Dock Residents website..where Hans continues to keep his readers pictorially well informed of matters local. http://www.flickr.com/photos/viktor_web_studios/show/The above link may work!

Will that give the public access to the 'Ait' (assuming that is the island)? Or have I completely lost the plot..

Emma,It's not going to be for public access unfortunately - there is going to be a new boatyard on ait.
Andrew Tierney ● 5404d
aitn't that a shame?

Will there be anything to stop people walking over it, though? The bridge to the island at Twickenham (name escapes me. Doh!) says 'private' on it but people still go over there for a gander.
