		Putney Bridge itself was a couple of minutes’ walk away but a sign with an acorn and the words THAMES PATH caught my eye, and I decided to follow that out of interest, even though I’d never been that way before.

		Ahead of me Putney Bridge loomed against a now-pale-blue sky, and the low-tide mud was visible over the parapet, as were a flight of steps down to it.

		Traffic on the Bridge, which is the responsibility of Hammersmith and Fulham Council, has been restricted to 7.5 tonne for some years because of the weak nature of the structure.
		On 3rd February 1997, the Bridge was closed to all vehicles except buses, emergency service vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, due to overstressing of key elements of the structure which was discovered whilst the Bridge was undergoing structural assessment of its load carrying capacity.
		Unfortunately, because the Bridge was closed so suddenly, there is little information available about journey times and pollution levels prior to the closure, Accordingly, not all the before and after comparisons that are desirable to prove the disruption that has been caused to adjacent bridges can be made.

		The piers of this Victorian rail bridge were found to be unable to take the horizontal braking/traction forces of modern trains entering and departing Neath Station.
		The articulation of the bridge prevented a fixed bearing being provided at this strengthened abutment, and therefore the designer specified LUDs to transfer longitudinal forces at this point.
		Due to the skewed relationship of the bridge and the deck the LUD s are connected to the brackets using ball joint connections rather than the conventional clevis arrangement.
