This is just to let you know Tower Bridge reopened to all traffic at 12noon today (Thursday 22 December), following the completion of the City of London’s essential maintenance work.

The diversion routes have been removed and the Congestion Charge will be back in place from 07:00 tomorrow, Friday 23 December until 18:00. It will be suspended from Saturday 24 December until Monday 2 January 2017. The daily charge will apply again from Tuesday 3 January.

Please note any drivers following the free diversion route, which had been in place, for the rest of today (Thursday 22 December) will not have to pay the congestion charge.

All the best for the festive season­­­
