Tower Bridge Reopens After Unexpected Closure

Iconic London Landmark Reopens After Temporary Closure

Today, Tower Bridge reopened to the public after an unexpected closure due to a technical issue. The bridge, which is one of London's most iconic landmarks, was closed to traffic and pedestrians on Tuesday evening after a fault was discovered in one of its bascules.

Engineers worked throughout the night to repair the fault, and the bridge was reopened to traffic at 7am this morning. However, the pedestrian walkways remained closed for safety reasons, as further work was still needed to ensure that they were safe for public use.

Pedestrian Walkways Reopen

The pedestrian walkways on Tower Bridge reopened at 11am this morning, meaning that visitors can once again enjoy stunning views of London from the bridge's high walkways.

Tower Bridge is one of the most popular tourist attractions in London, and the closure caused significant disruption for both tourists and commuters. The bridge is a vital link between the City of London and Southwark, and its closure caused long delays for traffic.

The reopening of Tower Bridge is a welcome relief for both tourists and commuters, and it is expected that the bridge will be back to its normal busy self in the coming days.
