Smith – who spent his career working across a number of sectors and major projects, including a rail viaduct on the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop – asked if we are “putting too much value on the historical value of the preservation of Hammersmith Bridge?”
Smith – who worked predominantly within the offshore oil and gas sector – pointed out that if we disposed of the old London Bridge by “flogging it to the Americans” why are we so determined to restore Hammersmith Bridge to its former glory?
