During this time there will be no access for vehicles or cyclists over the bridge. Below is detailed information about the closure and traffic arrangements from July – December 2025.

Next stage of works : 28th July– 15th December

Vehicles

Vehicles will continue to travel northbound/westbound only from Lambeth to Westminster. Those travelling from Westminster towards Lambeth should follow the diversions via Vauxhall and Westminster Bridges.

On either side of the bridge the following traffic movements have been in place since February to ensure the junction can operate safely:

  • No left turn from Millbank South to Horseferry Road
  • No right turn from Milbank North to Horseferry Road
  • No left turn from Lambeth Palace Road to Lambeth Road
  • No right turn from Lambeth Road to Lambeth Palace Road

Cyclists

Westminster to Lambeth (southbound): Cyclists will be able to travel in the new dedicated cycle lane from 5:00am Monday 28th July.

Lambeth to Westminster (northbound): Cyclists travelling northbound will be in the traffic lane across the bridge. ‘Narrow Lanes do not overtake cyclists’ signs will be in place.

Buses

Routes 3, C10 and N3 bus services are affected by these diversions.

After the next stage: Completion of the bridge and ongoing works

We are aiming to complete the bridge works by 15 December 2025. Further closures will be required to fully reopen the bridge to traffic and works to complete the new road layout and traffic signalling either side of the bridge will continue until early summer 2026.
