DRASTIC LONDON CHANGES
CROSS-RIVER TRAFFIC NEW SCHEME EXPLAINED British Official Wireless RUGBY, Wednesday. Drastic alterations in the West End of London, involving the removal of many familiar features, are proposed in a scheme to deal with cross to river traffic, which has been suggested to the Prime Minister, Mr. Baldwin. If the scheme is adopted it will include the removal of Charing Cross railway station and the extension of Waterloo station, the construction of a road bridge from near the Nurse Cavell statue across the Strand and the Thames to Waterloo Road, the demolition of the Hungerford Bridge and the Charing Cross railway bridge and the retention and extension of Waterloo Bridge to permit of four lines of traffic. The scheme is estimated to cost £10,000,000. It is understood that it has the support of the Ministry of Transport and the London Traffic Advisory Committee, which claims that it would solve the traffic problem in this part of London for the next 30 years, and that it is an improvement on proposals previously submitted.
