TfL curtails bus route 47 to ease Tower Bridge congestion
Transport for London is to curtail bus route 47 at Dockhead for the next three months as a 'mitigation' measure to ease the congestion caused by the closure of Tower Bridge
From 5am on Monday 10 October bus route 47 – which usually links Bellingham with Liverpool Street via London Bridge – will turn round at Dockhead where Jamaica Road meets Tooley Street.
The first stop for eastbound buses will be stop S on Tooley Street, just to the east of the Tower Bridge Road junction.
A three-month closure of Tower Bridge to motor traffic began last weekend.
Earlier this week a TfL official told a community council meeting that "the congestion has not been as bad as we initially thought".
