Hammersmith Bridge won't reopen for at least another five years even if the £250m is found for its rebuild, Londoners have been told.
It comes as the troubled Grade II listed bridge reaches the 5th anniversary of its closure to vehicles in 2019, with passengers being shut out the following year.
The decision to close the bridge was made by the owner Hammersmith and Fulham council after it found the 137-year-old bridge's wrought-iron structure was riddled with cracks.
The shutdown of the Thames crossing has worsened congestion to much of west London as well as isolating residents in Barnes on the south side of the river.
Due to it being one of the first suspension bridges in the world, the work required to mend it would be extremely expensive and complex.
