Hammersmith Bridge will be completely closed on the day of the annual Oxford Cambridge boat race next month.

Safety experts have instructed the council to shut it off to pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooter riders between 10am and 5pm on April the 3rd. 

The council says the decision has been taken because the structure is not strong enough to hold large crowds of onlookers. 

Stabilisation works worth £8.9 million are currently underway.
