London Bridge is one of the most famous sites in all of London and to fully appreciate it as either a tourist or as a citizen, there’s a lot of to understand. London Bridge, or as it is also called, Tower Bridge, is located on the River Thames in order to connect the financial district of London with the Southwark district on the other side of the river. While taking the Underground is an alternative to driving or walking across the bridge to the other side, many people still need to take their cars into London’s financial district each and every day. And because the River Thames is still a vital part of trade done in England, the bridge must lift its road to let ships pass almost 3 times every single day. These numbers are obviously greatly reduced since many ships have found other ports of call in recent years, but for such an old bridge, it’s impressive.

In the next few years, London Bridge will be getting a makeover. Like all bridges, the amount of maintenance and upkeep to keep things running smoothly is phenomenal. The bridge will be getting repainted by the end of 2012 with the colors blue and white. Each section of the bridge will be done independently so that traffic isn’t disrupted as much. But, if you’re planning on visiting London anytime soon, you may want to see when the repairs will be taking place so you can avoid going to the bridge when it is covered in construction materials.
