Waterloo Bridge is closed to vehicular traffic for 30 hours, so that the 140 FT long span of the temporary bridge on the south side can be slewed eastwards a distance of 34 feet to provide room for the construction of the new bridge. A small temporary viaduct connects the road with the temporary bridge in its new position.
