Hammersmith Bridge Taskforce meeting, 29 April 2021 Joint statement on progress made by the taskforce at its meeting on 29 April 2021. From: The latest meeting of the Hammersmith Bridge Taskforce was held yesterday (29 April 2021). It was chaired by Transport Minister, Baroness Vere. Attendees included the Project Director Dana Skelley, plus representatives from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham ( LBHF), the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, the Greater London Authority, Transport for London ( TfL) and the Port of London Authority. Dana Skelley, speaking on behalf of the Hammersmith Bridge Taskforce, said: At yesterday’s Taskforce we were joined by representatives from Fosters & Partners and COWI who provided an update on their proposal for a temporary truss structure. Early indication from the feasibility study suggests that the key benefit associated with the Foster/COWI proposal is the potential for the bridge to be reopened earlier to vehicles.
