Default Lambeth Bridge's 'dangerously narrow' cycle lane to be widened

"TfL says that it has taken the opportunity to review and improve conditions
for cyclists on the bridge. The narrow cycle lanes are barely wider than the
gutter. In addition to resurfacing and repairs to expansion joints within
the bridge, the westbound cycle lane will be widened to 1.5 metres. As there
is not space to widen both the west and eastbound cycle lanes the eastbound
cycle lane will be incorporated into the bus lane.

Department for Transport guidelines recommend that cycle lanes should be at
least two metres wide. "This essential work to refurbish and resurface
Lambeth Bridge is vital to ensure that this important river crossing can
remain open to all pedestrians, cyclists and road users," says TfL's
director of roads Dana Skelley."
