Commissioned by the London Borough of Hounslow, the scheme started in August 2016.

Sited on a backwater of the River Brent by the Thames, the bridge is said to be the last railway project by the famous engineer Isambard Brunel.

​

Before refurbishment works started, the bridge was in a poor condition, was subject to a 7.5 tonne weight restriction and had a chicane in place to limit loading, which slowed traffic and proved unpopular with local residents.

​

The refurbishment of the bridge, which completed in May 2017, became the largest structural improvement scheme for our client, and resulted in the bridge’s structure being strengthened to a 40 tonne capacity.
