WIDENING AND STRENGTHENING OF KINGSTON BRIDGE, LONDON
This paper describes the planning, design and construction of a scheme to widen and strengthen a historic multi-span-masonry arch bridge across the River Thames. The history of a river crossing at this point is discussed and the features that make Edward Lapidge's structure of 1828 a part of the English national heritage are described. In order to deal with modern day traffic levels it has been necessary to develop a scheme to widen the structure and strengthen the existing arches. This has had to be carried out in a manner that maintains the bridge's attractive appearance and recognises all local environmental conditions. For the covering abstract see ITRD E106406.
