Explanatory note

This Order authorises the variation of certain provisions of the River Thames (Hungerford Footbridges) Order 1999 (“the Principal Order”) which authorised the construction of two new footbridges on either side of the Hungerford Railway Bridge linking Charing Cross and the South Bank.

The Order authorises the relocation and redesign of the supporting pylons of the footbridges from the Middlesex Pier of the Railway Bridge to Victoria Embankment and an increase in the height of the pylons. It also makes provision for changes to the layout of streets and stopping-up of streets consequent upon the redesign of the pylons.

The Order varies the Principal Order and substitutes plans and sections for those deposited with the Principal Order.

Plans and sections substituted by this Order together with the plans and sections deposited pursuant to the Principal Order may be inspected at Westminster City Hall, Westminster, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP between the hours of 9.00 and 5.00 pm Mondays to Fridays excluding public holidays.
