You can cross the bridge by foot according to the article on the front page.

Good Morning, was asked in an earlier thread but does anyone know if you can cross the bridge by foot?

Absolutely disgraceful that train staff are striking in December especially as their union boss is unable to supply a coherent answer as to what they are actually asking for!  It seems to be a secret as to what they actually want. Is it just greed yet again?

Mark Killick, Network Rail’s Wessex route director, said: “We’re extremely sorry for the major disruption this closure is causing to our customers. Operating a safe railway must always take priority and we are working to carry out the necessary repairs as soon as we can.“Engineers found that four out of the 86 large steel pins that are used to hold in place the structural girders, which support the railway tracks above were slightly damaged. Due to the location of the bridge which spans over the River Thames, this makes gaining access to replace the pins much more complex.“We’re continuing to work closely with our train operating partners at SWR to produce a revised timetable to serve as many stations in the local area as possible.”My question is, is it open for people crossing by foot?

Julian I did Google and couldn't find anything because the reasons for the closure weren't very prominent on the SWR website. They were there I just didn't look carefully. The closure which is going to last until Monday is now appearing on the front page of this site.
