London s Millennium Bridge, currently undergoing repair work, has revived an ancient maritime practice. A bundle of straw is suspended from the bridge s central arch to warn passing boats of reduced headroom. This tradition is rooted in an ancient Port of London Thames bylaw and is being implemented for safety purposes. Workers in high-visibility jackets lower the straw bale using climbing ropes. The urgent repairs are necessary due to deterioration of the bridge membrane.
