The structure is set to close on 14 October to enable the round-the-clock work to begin. It will reopen on 5 November.
London's Millennium Bridge, dubbed the 'wobbly bridge', is set to shut for three weeks for urgent maintenance work. The bridge, which links St Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern across the River Thames, is not dangerous but a separation layer under the bridge deck has started to degrade and needs a deep clean, its owners said. The structure is set to close on 14 October to enable the round-the-clock work to begin.
'Replacing this layer is a time-consuming process, meaning we have no option but to close the bridge for three weeks and to work round the clock to get it done as quickly as possible. 'We're sorry for any inconvenience but hope people will understand we do need to do this work, and will see the benefits after we give the bridge a much-needed deep clean that will leave it looking as good as new.' The bridge was opened in 2000 to mark the new millennium at a cost of £18.
