London's Millennium Bridge is to shut for three weeks for urgent repairs - the second closure in its short history.

Chairman of the City Bridge Foundation Giles Shilson said the work would be "a time-consuming process" and would continue around the clock, with noise limitations in place overnight. He added: "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."London Evening Standard
