Millennium Bridge in London to close for urgent repairs

Structure due to reopen by 5 November after replacement of layer under aluminium deck

The Millennium Bridge in London will be closed for three weeks for urgent maintenance work after parts of its underside started to degrade.

The suspension bridge, also known colloquially as the wobbly" bridge, crosses the Thames and links St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London with the Tate Modern gallery on the South Bank.
