	Hammersmith Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hammersmith Bridge is a crossing of the River Thames in west London, just south of the Hammersmith town centre area of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham on the north side of the river.
		It was a toll bridge with toll booths at either end; in between a timber deck some 30ft wide was supported by metal chains strung from two masonry towers.
		In June 2000, the bridge was damaged by a terrorist bomb, on the 40th anniversary of a previous bombing by the IRA, but after closure for repairs was reopened with weight restrictions in place.

	1st Impact Assessment
		For example, average two-way flows on Putney Bridge appear to have fallen by around 13,500 between March and October 1997, whilst Chiswick Bridge has seen a reduction in flow of over 10, 000 vehicles per day during the same period.
		Indeed, results of counts on the Thames bridges, when summarised, indicate traffic volumes significantly at variance from that which would be expected from trend data and the traditional cyclical annual traffic peak.
		There is evidence of improved journey times and reliability for bus passengers joining services close to Hammersmith Bridge but it is unclear as to the impact for passengers travelling longer distances on services crossing the Bridge and on other services that might be affected by traffic diversion.

		The best place to watch the race from is Hammersmith, where there is a fine view to be had from the wall alongside the river, or better still join the supporters who crowd the bridge to give their crews a roar as they speed underneath.
		But then that is the art of coxing, and the Head of the River is the greatest test of a cox, because you may have to seer around other boats, as well as knowing the best place to be on the river, and coaxing and cajoling your crew as they gradually tire.
		For the spectators it is the mid division halfway through the starters when things get exciting, especially at Hammersmith Bridge, when boats can be three abreast, all within inches of each other, and the coxes having to use all their skill not to clash.
