	Battersea Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Battersea Railway Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battersea Railway Bridge - properly called the Cremorne Bridge, after the pleasure grounds in Chelsea and originally commonly referred to as the Battersea New Bridge - is an east-west bridge across the River Thames in London, between Battersea and Chelsea and forming part of the West London Line from Clapham Junction to Willesden Junction.
		The bridge was designed by William Baker, chief engineer of the London and North Western Railway, and was opened in March 1863 at a cost of £87,000.
		The bridge was strengthened in 1969 and again in 1992; trains crossing the bridge are subject to a speed restriction.

		He found the bridge unfit, particularly in view of the likelihood of increased traffic as London developed and the bridge was free to cross.
		Following the demolition of the old bridge he built its replacement, a five-arch iron bridge 16.7 metres wide and 126 metres long that was opened in 1890 and re-christened Battersea which derives from Badrics Ey, or island, suggesting an area surrounded by marsh or water.

		Battersea is relatively well attended by travellers, mainly because of the majestic Albert Bridge and the Battersea Bridge, both of which lie right next to each other.

		BATTERSEA Bridge is expected to be repaired and reopen by next summer, Transport for London (TfL) announced yesterday.
		This has enabled them to confirm that the bridge is able to carry buses safely in a single lane.

	Londonist: Battersea Bridge Reopens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Battersea Bridge has reopened today, four months after someone ran a barge into it.
		AC - I'm pretty sure we did report on reopening of the bridge to buses and pedestrians when it happened, we also reported on the fact that bus drivers were apparently breaking the 'one bus at a time' rule.
		Maybe we should have made it clearer that the bridge was reopening to traffic, but it is difficult to not be 'car-centric' when the story is about cars.
